I used a bass guitar string on mine when that happen. I was able to go thru the grill and thru the latch and then out of the grill again. Tied the string together and yanked on it to pop it loose. Keep the string in there as my pop open mechanism till I replaced the cable. Just a thought if you play guitar or no someone who does. Good luck.

BTW love the ATHF pic by your site name. Great show. Got to love Carl. Peace... Post more pics when you can. Help me with my gen1 craving.

I would kill for a gen 1 Brat like that. It seems in your part of the world theyre practically giving them away. Im watching a gen2 Brat in FL on ebay now but I would rather have a gen1 Brat. Good Luck.....

Thanks northguy... I would be lost without you...

Im looking at the 86 brat in FL on ebay. I was wondering what engine size is in them?? I believe it would be am 1.8L but an EA81 or an EA82??? The engine in it says its ovet 200,000. Just want to know what size I might want to find down the line. I want something original to what is in there so no crazy mods. All you throw in a turbo, add this, go with more power type guys keep it simple for me. I love when I read all that but i would want a simple swap.

Pics... pics..... pics....please

Please Please Please...................

Yes always. Please send your gen 1 brat pics to tbag1331@yahoo.com. Help me fill my void. Thanks, Tommy..........

I dont know about the no front bumper thing. I like it better with it on. It adds more chrome to the color of the front. At lease throw a brushguard on it if you can find one... Other than that it looks awesome. I miss my brat:-\

Its been almost a year now since I sold my gen1 brat to Skip and moved back to FL from Ohio. Im starting to get withdrawls. I need to see a gen1 brat soon. Would also like so find one for myself. Anyone in FL close to WPB have one. I would love to meet you and see your ride.

Wow, very nice..... I miss my gen 1 brat.....

Glad to here that. Good luck with your search. Hey Skip you out there??? Hows the 78????

Cool. I was checking it out and asking the guy about it that lived in that 2 story building back there where it was. He gave me a # but I never called cause I was in no position to buy yet. How is it?? Does it run well? Are you driving it now or does it need work? If you dont mind asking, how much did you get it for??? Sorry for being nosey about it. Just curious. Tommy...

Hey machineagevictum. I see you have a 79 wagon. Was taht the one I seen sitting there off haverhill? It was just parked along some bushes, tires were all flat. Just wondering.

Anyone here close to West Palm Beach,FL have a Gen1 Brat? I would love to meet them and see there Brats for a little eyecandy. I seen one so far on 10th Ave and congress. It was turning left and I was turning right so I didnt follow it. It was at night and it looked to be tan or white in color and it had a camper shell on it. It was definitly a gen 1 brat. Anyone here on this board maybe?????

Hi. Some of you might remember me. I havent been posting a while since Ive moved to FL. I sold a couple of my Brats(along with half my life) in Dec of last year for real low prices, when I was still in Ohio. I sold an 82 and a 78. The 78 went to Skip. How is she by the way? I would love to buy her back If your selling Skip. Im looking soon to get a nice Gen 1 Brat any year any color(if any). I would just like it to be fairly rust free and in good running condition. Any in FL on the board that have Gen 1 Brats? Im in West Palm Beach. I could use any help or DONATIONS would be appreciated. Thanks, Tommy...

Thanks all Im in Fl and enjoying Xmas. I hope everyone else is as well. Well I need to find a car, newer for now like a 90s Toyota or something. I do have a lead on a 79 Subaru wagon, looks to be in decent shape but I cant do a project now. I wish I could. Anyone looking to donate a nice gen1 brat in the south???? I miss my 78 brat. That was going to be my baby. Skip, I know shes in good hands. Thanks all for the nice comments. I hope to have my dream gen 1 brat someday again. Later.......

Hey Twowagons, if you cant find a mastercylinder for that year brat(80 Gen 1... right??), I believe I have a new one thats just sitting around as an extra backup part that Im willing to sell to you if you really need it and cannot find one. Ill double check to make sure. Email me at tbag1331@yahoo.com if you need my help. Tommy.....

My headlights, brights, dash and rear lights do not work all of a sudden. They worked fine until now. My brake and turn signals still work. Could it be my light switch???? I dont have a voltage meter to check if my wires are getting juice. I checked all the fuses and they are fine. If anyone has an extra light switch for an 82 EA81 brat please put it on hold for me becuase I might need it. Any suggestions on how I can find the problem???? Please Ill try anything.Thanks.....
