spicypeanut Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Just a small update, had it smog checked. Made some adjustments and it is running better than ever while passing with flying colors. I swear it has to run cleaner than a prius now. All the measured numbers came in substantially lower than the average numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicypeanut Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) December 8th, 2013 - May 19th, 2017. So it is with a heavy heart that I write this post. Today, my Brat is no longer in the garage. I've parted ways with her, and hope that the new owners appreciate her as much as I have these last few years. My intention when I originally brought her home was to save her from the scrap yard. I wanted to give it new life, take care of and restore her so that people would be proud to hop in, go for a ride and have fun. I feel I've made the little old Brat proud. Farewell my little Brat! 1978 Subaru Brat Nice Day For Pictures by blue03wrx, on Flickr 1978 Subaru Brat Nice Day For Pictures by blue03wrx, on Flickr Edited May 20, 2017 by spicypeanut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBubbaJoe Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 when you worked on the brat did you ever replace the rear shocks? if so did you find scrap factories or find something that fit but was for something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my lateness in replying! I did not replace the rear shocks but I did notice they had been replaced at some point. I'm pretty sure when I was cleaning the rear wheel wells up I saw the shocks were white with red covers and I *think* were Rancho branded. I did a quick google search and these might be potential replacements. http://www.jcwhitney.com/pn/c11298p5261j1s45.jcwx?filterid=d1927y1978g81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
