Ya, I'm still digging around for the business card. As soon as I find it I'll post the information. Also I'll need to get that weber from you when you're ready to get rid of the motor and carb.

Sure, I have a ton of them just laying around.

Ah yes thanks to monstaru. I have to shoot some decals he's way here soon. I'm still looking for a gas peddle though.

Why do you have TRD stickers on a Subaru?:-\

Lots of cleaner and lots of paint and lots of new parts.

Well it's getting close to being finished. I still need a gas peddle. Maybe I'll post something in the wanted section. Here are a few photos of what I have so far.

I've finally got around to creating the template for the multiple color BRAT stripes for the gen 1. I'm on my way to the printers to get a few printed up. I don't have the kind that stops at the door yet. These are the ones that continue on up to the end of the door. The price is a lot less then I thought so I'll pass the savings on to you. Only $165.00 a set with $10 shipping (or you can pick them up). I will only have 3 sets to sell and I will not be making anymore for a long time. So if you want them jump on 'em. I'll give it a week on here then I'm putting them up on ebay. I wanted to give my fellow message boarders the first chance to get a hold of these rare reproduction stripes. Here is an example of the style:

Ah yes, looking good. Next you need to work on the Gen 1 lifts. I've got an EA81 and weber carb that will be going into the white brat and I'd love to get that sucker lifted.

Very nice. Your BRAT has really come along nicely.

I'd change the wheel bearings if I were you. I've done a couple dozen subaru axles now and it seems like almost always I have to go back and change the wheel bearings a few hundred miles later. So if you intend on keeping your subaru for awhile I'd change the bearings. They are cheap and easy to do and you'll save yourself some time in the long run. Just so you know I always do wheel bearings when I do axles now.

I'd check into the head gasket idea. That's what it sounds like to me. I've gone through this with 3 or 4 of my rigs and done the same things you've done (only because they were easier then changing the head gaskets). After that I change the head gaskets and problem gone.

I just had mine apart on my hatch to clock the torsion bars down. It's completely dry and it's built out of 2 equal length bars and come together in the middle and connect to the adjustment bolt thing. You've got nothing to mess with in the rear. You could try adding some stiffer shocks or putting in some EA82 coilovers.

Any word on a group buy on the axles?

Sweet find. How much you pay for it?

If you need to check out a swap in a hatch let me know. You can stop by and snap so photos or take a look at where I placed stuff. -earl

So how much did Mountain Tech take ya for on the motor? I know they can be a bit on the pricey side. Very nice employees though:) I did this same swap on my 1982 hatch a little of a year ago. If you want to stop by and take a look at anything let me know. (I know it's 2 different generation of body styles, but if it help let me know.) Good luck and so far you're off to a great start.

That looks like my BRAT a few days ago. I've now got primer and coating on it. I'm dropping it off at the paint shop today. Then I can start the rebuild of the motor. Then by the time the paint is finished I should be able to drop the motor in and start working on the trim. (full restoration in 2 months). I feel your pain on the body filler though.

Let's see some more.

So I only needed a couple of parts, but I had to buy all this stuff in order to get the stuff I wanted. Just a heads up that I'm going to be selling all this Gen 1 stuff. Here is a link to some photos of the part: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104134&page=2 Let me know what you want and I'll do my best to set stuff aside for you as I go through and get photos of everything.

Yes, he's very reasonable. I'll try and dig up his name and number for you. Don't hate, appreciate. Wait till the paint job is finished. I hope to have this thing finished by the end of the month.

ya, let me do a little research here to find someone who can do it and get some prices. Then you can post a group buy thing.

I'm wondering if I made a template could I find someone who could make them. Maybe we can get a bunch made and do some sort of group buy thing.

Does anyone know were I can find some new gen 1 BRAT tail light gaskets?
