So… I have a 2nd gen brat from ‘85: ej22 swapped (‘95 Impreza outback donor) with a 6” lift and off-road tires. After years of wrenching on it (mixed with other years of being too busy with life/work and abandoning it for extended periods of time), it’s finally purring! It’s hella fun to rally, and obviously there have been countless gremlins along the way, but they’ve all mostly been slayed. Fortunate that I have a rollover parts brat with a bed full of extra everything and hard to find trim and body panels (along with two other stock brats I sold off/lost in the divorce after scavenging the best off all of them) Anyway, I’m now onto the trim and details… including a new paint job! I am picturing a homage to the Hot Wheels brats that have turned up in various forms over the decades. What can I say — I’m far away from stock and this is meant as a purely fun ride. Hoping you’re all down to share your opinion: which of the Hot Wheels Brat versions would you like to see passing you on the backroads? I have my favorites but will keep them to myself for now. I want to hear yours! Here’s a doc with pics uploaded of every version I could find: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-xL6xhCNcrKamYIuPPCo7O7O6Nv2713fgecJIMHyBK0/edit Please weigh in with a comment! -
Brand spankin new 1982 brat owner
tvsavery posted a topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Hi all, Thanks for welcoming me to the forum. I'm a long time lurker trying to gather recon for my first subaru purchase, a 1982 brat in need of some serious TLC. I'm towing it home Saturday but I'm not worried because it "ran great when parked" and "with a new battery and fresh gas it'll run for sure..." and all such dubious reassurances from the seller. Anyhoo, the first order of business is to pitch the carter carb for a weber, but I'm looking to buy an ea81 or ea82 manifold to start the swap. I've had no luck in any of the Philadelphia area scrap yards. If any member here can help me out or point me in the right direction, I'd very much appreciate it! I'll post in the wanted section too. Thanks so much!
