I want to get the drivers seat recovered over the winter and plan on switching it out for the passengers seat while that's being done. I measured the seat rails and they appear to be the same so I could just unbolt both of them. Any chance the seats just slide out from the rails like in an air cooled VW? It would be easier that way.
My '85 BRAT was sold new in California. Is it the same as those sold new elsewhere? I recall that many cars in the 80's had California versions and 49 state versions to meet California's stricter emission standards. Stuff like different carburetors and such. Did Subaru do such a thing?
I have a 1985 BRAT with the stock wagon wheels. The bolt pattern looks like 4 x 100 with a FWD offset. Is that right? I want to get some wheels to replace mine while I mount new tires. It's winter here now (Minnesota)and this car has never seen snow so just driving it in isn't an option.
