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....
