bratsrus1 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi Everybody This is Jerry, as a few of you guys know i am building my lifted hatchbrat. I took it to the show and got alot of really cool compliments about it. If you want to see a picture it is on the older subarus title official wcss6 picture thread. The first one from Syphon click on album 274 it is on page 3 # 42. Let me know what you think. I built the 4 inch lift, the 14x6 wheels, the bumpers, and the back wall is out of a brat, the rool bar is 3 inch and the exhaust stacks are 3 inch and they do work. It has a EA81 engine with a EA82 intake and webber carb. also 5 speed dual range tranny, rear disc and LSD. Oh it also on board air for the air horn. I know other people also took pictures but i haven't seen them. Thanks Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibs Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 That was really cool looking Jerry. Next year I want you to hit up the mud pit in it though. I know a lot of us wanted to see you tear the pit up! When I first saw it, I was awed and confused at the same time. Good Job on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratsrus1 Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hey Jibs This is Jerry, the reason i didn't play in the mud is because i didn't bring any spare parts. If i broke anything i would have to repair it on monday and mis a day of work. The hatchbrat got me to the show it had to get me back home. Thanks Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Yeah, I had talked to you about that. Maybe next year, you could bring those spare parts and we'll see ya do it! I'm also sure we all wouldn't mind chipping in and offering up parts of our own to see the beast in action:grin: Anyway, I completely understand why you didn't go for it as I was totally unsure I was going to make it out unscathed in my white Brat. I took a big gamble running the pit, I had a bad oil leak, a torn cv boot, and a broken pcv valve. Anyway, I made it back ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam N.D.J. Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Sounds like a plan to me, Jerry already has an axle coming from me, and with the way my schedule looks, I won't be able to get it to him until next show time. Hehe. I too am going to bring more parts next year. If'n I can find the time to make spares for everything that might break. Hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris W. Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Sweet ride Your wheels remind me of Gen1 Jackmans, pretty cool! Did you say you "made" them??? Any more details on your wheels (like, are more available?). Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratsrus1 Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hi Chris This is Jerry, yes i made the wheels that are on my hatchbrat. The outter wheel shells came from rock stompper. com in colordao. The inside part started out as 3 eights inch flat iron then cut them out with computer plasma cutter. Then i centered them up in the lathe welded them together. I have about 10-12 hours apeice in them and i made 5 of them lots of time. I wanted to be different and thats why i made a hatchbrat different. Thanks Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I wanted to be different and thats why i made a hatchbrat different. Thanks Jerry And that you are, but that's one heck of a cool conversion! Great Job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
