Hi guys, I want to install a LSD in the differential of my Brat. So I have to change the seals/gaskets of it. Do you have any subaru parts referencies for a kit of gaskets ( maybe it is the same differential like forester) ?

Dear all, could you tell me where and front which model I have to buy the door mirrors (and the switch to fit on the Dashboard) to install on my 1986 Brat ?

Nobody has contact to give a little help?

LOL

Yes, it is right.... I'm living in Luxembourg and i bought a Brat in Australia.... a RHD. I want to convert it in LHD like our local specs. I've got the possibility to ask a Luxembourger guy who works with the USA to put my parts in one of his containers that will be shipped in Europe.

It has to be shipped in USA, not in Europe.....

It should be nice if someone in USA can collect the needed parts and send them where the container will be ( I don't know where yet)

Thank you Bennie, i wrote my message in english, but Google translated it automatically in french.... @dfoyl: i ve discussed with Ritchie, he doesn’t have the parts anymore....

Chers fans de Subaru, Je veux convertir une RHD Subaru Brat en LHD. Savez-vous qui peut m'aider à trouver les pièces aux États-Unis pour moi? Je vous remercie beaucoup pour votre aide !

I try to find an easy way to restore the rear fenders... The wheel arches are very rusty, so it should be nice to replace them. I’m searching on internet (original or reproduction) arch, but I don’t find ... do you know where I can find that? I’ve got the same problem with the rocker panels, panels from Loyale are usable?

If you need some parts, just tell me..... I shall try to help you. I'm living in Luxemburg

Thank you so much for your comment !

Dear all, Yesterday, I've checked the shell of my Brat .... I'm not so Lucky because there is a lot of rust..... There are 2 places I don't know how to proceed... Inside the rear fenders. As you can see on the pics, there is a lot of rust there ( and probably more on the hidden side...) What is the best way to stop the rust? In this case, do you only pour a 'rust stop' as Frameto or do you drill all the fender spot welding to remove the fender and by the way remove 100% the rust with a sandblaster? I think the second is the best, but it is a hard job... what is you opinion?

Dear all, the bootlid of my 1988 Brat is very rusty. Where can I buy one in good condition? thank you so much

Thank you so much for your comment !

Dear all, I'm working on the bodyshell of my 1993 Brat.... A lot of work, but not too much. The shell is in good condition but to do it perfect as my other cars, it will take a lot of hours! I contacted Giles Walker for some parts, I suppose he will give me a good support! What are the common modifications to do on the Brat? Is it possible to use a 5 speed Gearbox? Best regards from Luxembourg Marc

Thank you ! Is there some potic of Brat restoration? I didn't find a lot of pics of Brat !

One more pic...

Dear all, My name is Marc and I'm living in Luxemburg. End of 90's, I drove a WRX Turbo for 7 years. More than 10 years later, in 2015 I bought a new STI. One month ago, I decided to start a crazy project, a unknown Subaru for my country.... a 1982 Brat ! I've just received the car this week, it seems a very good restoration base, but you can imagine with some rusty parts! Do you have any contact for me here? It should be nice for me to discuss with someone who made the same job ! I thank you very much in advance
