OK guys sorry for the lack of updates, the brat is here and running. I drained the tank and fixed the gas gauge sending unit and replaced the plugs. the care fired up today and pulled in and out of the garage. I am back at it tomorrow and will snap some pics

Well guys this little BRAT is scheduled to come to my shop tomorrow. So i can finally dig into and make some progresshopefully

I am chomping at the bit to get started on this BRAT, hopefully by the end of the week it will be loaded up in my garage...

THANKS WOODSWAGON!!!!

thank you turbine for the link! I know the history all the way back to Garner and I plan to get this BRAT back on the road. I own a car restoration company so I am capable but I am new to Subaru so I may need some assistance here and there. Rpholz I will be in touch I am sure. I have know Jimmie Higgins for 12 years now, he actually taught me how to work on 20r and 22r Toyota motors. I have always wanted a BRAT because of Jimmie just never found the right one until now. Thanks guys for all the help and kind words. I appreciate everyone pitching in to give me info from your eyeball Subaru knowledge. This is going to be a fun project!

yes it has stand alone msd coils to fire the engine and powered by megasquirt and a trigger hall sensor. I got all the spare parts today, spare dash, door panels, all the chrome and aluminum, rocker panels and such

yeah I will get pics of the suspension when I can guys. it is not in my shop yet and will not be for a few weeks. the guys on chopcult who posted it are the ones who originally got it from the dead professor. I picked it up from Hugh's shop to bring it to Salisbury to a friends house. I then got it from said friend. I am a mechanic by trade so I hope I can get this back to its glory and then get it painted and done :-) it also comes with 2 truck loads of parts if anyone is looking for stock brat parts

I will be excited to hear more

so is there an old build thread online somewhere? it was running and driving at one time as I understand but the interior was parted out and it runs now but not great...

so I acquired this bastard contraption XT suspension ea82 turbo engine megasquirt controller it was owned by a professor at Appalachian state university in boone NC before he died. It was given to a former student, went through 2 more students hands and nothing was done to it now I am here to finish it. It has an ultimate Subaru sticker on the back glass, I am hoping I am lucky enough someone remembers the brat. on with the pics, it should be in my shop in a week or 2 and it shall begin
