1979 Brat by Kevin Talley, on Flickr Got the first coat on the tailgate...started a little late and ran out of day light so I will have to touch things up tomorrow. And the flash/cell phone pic doesn't do much justice

I am going to suggest that we do a meet and greet get together first and maybe plan a cruise later. Where abouts in Portland is everyone located so we can decide on a pretty central location? I am In SW over in Multnomah Village

Today I bought some sand paper and started prepping the tail gate for the plasti dip. Should be able to spray it tomorrow. @scoob_driver progress by Kevin Talley, on Flickr

I say we don't discriminate and anyone would be welcome but let's strongly push all "advertising" or talk about to be an older gen meet. With that said I am into this idea and have a few spots that would be ideal in the Portland metro area but will determine which ones I think are the best before I throw ideas out to everyone. I also think mid morning/afternoon meet would be best on a weekend date. Is this something we want to do continuously, one time or sparatically whenever we feel up for it? Can't wait to hear some feed back and get this going!

Someone start a thread about the old gen meet so we don't clog this one up =)

That's the plan! I'm gonna do the tail gate on Tuesday.

Man those wheels look good!

I was hoping the owner would walk out be confused that I stopped everything I was doing to park on the side of the road and take photos ha..but since he is on here I am sure he would understand

Painted my bumpers black today. by Kevin Talley, on Flickr Photo of the black bumpers..Next is taking the grill out and spraying that with a fresh coat of black plasti dip.

Nope oregon Plates. Loved the red font on his flaps!

Nope Oregon Plates. Hm maybe we should plan for something? Anyone care to get the details together?

Also today I decided to spray the bumpers with Black Pastidip. Decided all chrome will turn black.

Today I finally put the window crank back on the new regulator and sprayed the bumpers with black Plastidip on my brat

I would be way into that..get it started! I posted this on my build thread but I say this today and had to stop and snap a picture. Was driving towards gresham today and look what I found! #subarubrat #subaru #soobielove by Kevin Talley, on Flickr anyone know it?

I was driving out on Sandy here in Portland and spotted this gen 2 so I pulled over and took some pics hoping the owner would come out! anyone know it? It had stickers on the back window and on the tailgate a sticker that said heavy metal.

Yea last time I was there he said he is open mon-fri and Sunday by appointment only or if you call his cell number that's on his business card

He also works Sunday just have to call his cell

Nice! I wish I had a space like that to do all my work.

gonna call the guy at the subaru wrecking yard..he probably has one. But if anyone else does please let me know!

I would love to have one of these. Excited to see more progress!

That red is awesome! And yes the wheels really bring it all together

The one thing I do need if anyone has one is the gas pedal. I don't wanna buy an aftermarket set unless I can't find an original matching one.

Exactly I don't think I have used our a/c i the forester more than 2/3 days in the summer

Yeah i do not have that. good eye and thanks for pointing it out!
