SubieBrat Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Bought this Brat on Sunday in Worland, Wyoming. 4/5 lift, 15 inch pugs, jump seats have been added. A little hail damage, and a bit of surface rust. My plan: Ej Frankenmotor swap 5 speed d/r rear disks possibly add power steering Fix surface rust paint white with black bottom White one currently has the frankenmotor and tranny but is extremely rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratRod Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Nice! I think I remember seeing this on CL. It was a great deal, from what I remember. The camber issue should be nothing more than the strut blocks in backwards, as suggested by others who saw it. Nice looking bumper. Looking forward to updates.

SubieBrat Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yeah it was the one in worland. I rotated the blocks 180 degree and it fixed it. Virtually rust free. I was very supprised with body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieBrat Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Well i know this thread has been dead for a while, but that's all to me getting injured 7 days after starting the thread, school, and getting sick over the summer. I am however happy to say that it is up and running. Had quite a few hold ups while putting it in, including having to change the entire dash harness, but overall i am extremely happy. So now for the list of mods as of todayEj frankenmotor5 speed D/R4" lift on the cross members and 3" on suspension15" 505 Pug Alloys82 Brat instrument clusterEA81 non-turbo power steering rack Still have a lot of body work to do, but the guys next to where I work are helping me out with that and so far i am very please. But i am planning on painting it Dodge Viper SRT Pearl Blue, dynomatting the interior, putting in impreza seats, and a steel rear bumper. I'll upload some pictures as soon as i can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machthree2 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Absolutely amazing Brat. Nice owner too. You should put it in a Red Bull commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Roughly what was the cost to Dynomat it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieBrat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I was able to get it at a discounted price because if my job, but I spent $145us for 9 24x18 sheets. So I would probably say closer to $200us for you. Look on amazon for the full car dynomat pack. I got the floor and the doors with the kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmoss5723 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 CWP8 - Your bumper looks awesome, but I'm wondering what you did with your turn signals. Did you rig up the corner lights or something? I'm building a bumper for my BRAT, but I haven't decided what to do with the signals yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieBrat Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I used some LED trailer light turn signals from autozone (they're like $5) and welded some steel plate on to the corners and theyre wired into the factory turn signal set up. the only thing i have against them is that the car thinks that they are burned out, because of the low resistance of the LEDs, so the click really fast, they work well. I'm pleased with them. they actually got me to start converting to 100% led bumper to bumper. Just really expensive for the rest of the car.

jmoss5723 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 That's basically what I think I'll end up doing. I know there are ways to get the LEDs to behave properly, but I might just use old school non-LED trailer lights. I also have the option of rigging up some OEM signals. Since I'm basically making a steel version of the factory bumper out of some channel or tubing, it might look nice to have the original lights, but cutting holes to recess them will be a pain in the butt... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieBrat Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think LEDs might be a good way to go. less hassle with the having to change them when they burnout, still not a big deal though. ive thought about adding some inline resistors to the them just to get them to blink correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieBrat Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'd have to make them blink correctly. The quick blinking stresses me out Mine doing it used to do that to me but i only ever had a month of properly working turn signals and I have 800W with a 10in sub so it kinda just goes away haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Doesn't it already have one? Nope. Put LED signals on my '85 Brat. Was Blinking super fast, swapped it out with an electronic, all's good. Located behind the little speaker grill on the left side, pretty far back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
