mkoch Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I am wondering if the 85 Brat uses the Generation 2 parts an 84 Gl wagon uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoby4wd Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yes they are identical mechanically for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 For the majority, yes. What exactly are you planning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Front doors backwards is different. Centre console swaps over too. Great for parts. PS and AC will swap in. Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my '84 GL wagon frame rusts into nothingness, I plan to what parts I can on the '85 Brat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Like Bennie said. basics like fuel pump , components , front struts - save your top mounts unless they’re hopeless , 4WD related items , front end steering / suspension , engine , tranny , linkage , radiator , consider cutting the front radiator support Incase of a front end accident , windshield ( nice n careful and yes you can ) , dashboard , shifters , heaterbox (or at least salvage the parts that break - look for white plastic etc. , dome lights , wiper motor , steering wheel complete. That’ll keep you for most of your lifetime and maybe help the next guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Front valance or “lower skirt” as some refer to it. Pretty sure those and the 4WD wagon are the same. They all get banged up but if your wagon has one that’s at least workable it could be a smile on your face one day to at least have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
