I did that and it didn't work. I just threw it away and got another stub. I just about have it all back together.

...and you're going to have this ready for the show right?

Ya, the one's that I used were not tapered at all and still got stick. I'll get it out though.

Bumpy

I would think that a Drift Punch would get stuck easier 'cause of the tapered end. I was using a nail punch.

Update: So I've got the Legacy seats installed & all the interior painted, but not put back together yet 'cause I still have to swap out transmissions. I have been working on the rear end though. Swapping out the open diff for an LSD one, replacing the drum brakes with disk brakes. While doing this I discovered that the driver's side rear wheel bearing was toast so I've got to put a new set in. Also I had a lot of trouble removing the pin from the outer end of the axle. So I'm working on removing that too. Then I'm going to rebuild the axle. After I get all of that back together I'll replace the transmission then get the interior put back together and finally paint those beautiful bumpers and skid plate. Here are a few photos of my current progress: Just so you know the punch is stuck.

Cool, not a problem. I was just checking in on the order.

Hey Mic, any word on when these might be ready? I'm just itching to get mine installed.

You are correct. U.S. BRAT's only came with 4WD 4-speed transmissions.

Sweet! You're the best Moosens. I buy everything you got that can help me out on this project. I'm so excited to get this car put back together and start driving it.

That's what she said.

What's the Oregon run?

So if you have any parts that you want to sell to me to help me put this little gem back together I would greatly appreciate it. Right now all I have is what you see in the photos.

I finally got it home:

Can I fit a 1981 BRAT front cross member on the frame of a 1977 GL Coupe frame? I'm trying to update the drive train of my 1977 coupe to EA81 running gear.

Yes, we need more photos of that killer BRAT.

Bump for cool old thread!

I agree with you on the grill. Someone was using my tow dolly last weekend so I couldn't pick it up yet, but I should be grabbing it in the next day or so. Then I'll start making a list of parts I need. I'm sure I'm going to need a ton, and I'm sure they are going to be super hard to find. That's why I love restoring these old Subarus. It's the thrill of the hunt (not to mention that they are way cool looking too). I also think it's going to look super cool with this little number I picked up the other day too: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122735 Any help for you fellow old schoolers is greatly appreciated.

Looking at the vin# I guess it's a GL.

I can't tell you how many 1st & 2nd Gen Subaru's I've had to do this with.

I know this BRAT. It did belong to a guy out in Beaverton. He had it in the paint shop the same time I had my '81 BRAT. He bought a set of BRAT stripes from me and a couple other decals too. We did some horse trading for so other Subaru stuff too. He sold it about 6 months ago and the guy who bought it contacted me to install the BRAT decals, but I haven't heard from him since. It is a very clean BRAT, and I know the sale of the BRAT came with all the stuff to do an EJ22 swap.

I'll have to get you guys some more details on the car once I pick it up this weekend. We'll get this figured out. All I know right now is that it has a single carb EA71 motor with a 5-speed transmission. Oh, and a flat tire.
