  1. I have a set of mag wheels off of a 1980 Subaru BRAT and 2 extra wheels. I was wondering how much they go for.
  2. We made it back to Kansas City this morning around 3am. It was a long drive, but totally worth it. Every time we pulled off for gas people would wonder over to the BRAT with smiles on their faces. Either wondering what the hell it was, or to share a story of how they used to know a friend who knew a guy who took them on a ride in one once and it was awesome. Like Jon mentioned, its having fuel flow issues. Basically fuel compsumption is outpacing fuel flow. John, I already removed the second fuel filter before the carb to see if that was the issue, and it didn't seem to change the symptoms. Second thing to check would be the fuel pump. Ill look in to it tonight when I get home. Jon gave me a plethora of manuals and reading material to go though, but if any one has a theory they would like to share, I'm all ears.
  3. I just bought the Squirrel! My wife has been wanting a Brat for a while so for our first year anniversary I decided to find her one as a surprise. However, they are really hard to find and when you finally do find one, its been setting aside a barn for the last decade. I was fully prepared to take on a project, but wanted a decent starting point. My jaw dropped when I came across this build on one of my nightly eBay crawls. I was astonished by the list of new parts and description of work that went in to breathing life back into this ol' girl. I contacted Jon and asked what his reserve was and promptly put in a bid. A few nervous days latter and I WON! I was super excited to get to finish off the build, and today I asked my friend Sam, who owns a GL wagon, if he knew of any Subaru forums so I could start educating myself on everything vintage Subaru. He pointed this forum out, and low and behold I find this thread on the BRAT I just bought. Jon, I am amazed by the amount of effort and craftsmanship you have put in to this project. I will continue this thread so you and everyone else can see this thing complete. .... Now, theres the looming 9 hour drives to come pick it up....
