Brat Rebuild. Now with Photo's

Recommended Posts

Ok,

 

So as some of you know I traded a XT6 to Sti-wolf for a lifted wagon that was in Less than stellar condition, I then had a friend who knew someone who needed a runner and a driver, he had a brat with a blown head gasket. We made the trade. I towed the brat home. I found an engine, got it swapped in. thanks to a fellow board member. have not really tested it out yet as I also needed a radiator, and several other things. but a friend of mine who cruises Aarons auto wrecking, found a Perfect Dash, with all the switches and everything I need plus a radiator....

 

So with a now empty savings account I have a brat that will hopefully be great after a day or two more work.

 

Engine $200

Trip to get engine $100

Engine mounts and exhaust manifold gaskets I didn't need $68 dollars. Long story, We went searching when the old ones were broken-- didn't bother to look on the new engine. DAMN!!

$150 at Aarons for a perfect dashpad lots of other misc parts. (thanks Sean and Tom)

 

I will get awesome pictures and stuff this coming week...

soon as I'm confident the brat is a good rig... she is going up for sale...

 

 

Got to try to get some money back out of her... some of my toys have to sacrifice new ownership...

 

As for the dash rip out... I needed to pull out the PO ************ wiring. also to install shiney no crack dashboard...
