Brat owner again -gen II- The Plowmaster

[moosens]

 

Has a bar in front,the short boxy type like you see on old Nissan/Toyota type small pickups.I'll probably have to remove that for the plow.

 

Also has a homemade roll bar with 4 big lights on top.But here in CT having more than 4 bright lights facing forward is ilegal so a couple of lights are disconnected.Bar looks bitchin though.

 

Charchol grey with grey interior.Has some rot-OK it's looking mighty bad in some sections-but from the outside looks plenty good enough.The guy tossed in almost a whole Brat in parts.See my post in the marketplace for the spillovers-mighty cheap.

 

Drove it home last night and it ran great;allbeit a little loud,but hey,it's a Subaru of mature age.No third gear synchro problem at all.Nearly new radiator,ran cool.All lights work,but the horn wasn't.Maybe it needs a compressor and air horn.LOL

 

See you in the snow!!!!!

If you need any help with any of the bodywork you know how to get hold of me...More than willing to help ya out. Looks like I have a truck to do some minor stuff on this weekend (Would you believe its for my X in Ridgefield?!?!)But then I am free.

Cool, what year exaclty? My first Suby ever was a Grey 85 BRAT. Witch of course means sometime down the line (late 50's?) I'll have to get another one ot relive my teen years.

There's a guy in Soldotna, AK with a plow on the front of his Brat and a homemade wrecker set up in the bed. It looks pretty primitive, but it works to shift cadavercars around the lot and adjoining yard. If you want an idea, Paul, the next time I'm down there I'll take a couple of pictures.

At the time of this posting I haven't seen a post in the marketplace. What color is the parts donor? Still need that grey front passenger side front fender.

Thanks Matt,but no idea really needed.I own a plow that fits Subarus.

 

But I do need some time with it to figure the mounting and wiring.Shouldn't be too crazy.Two way plow.I'll just need to use blocks in the front coils and I'm looking for bigger wheels too.Trying to avoid needing a lift kit,but that might happen anyways over the winter.Where I work now it's a real cool shop where I can build or have built just about anything out of wood or metal outside of lathework or milling,which I'm also schooled at,and have access to elsewhere.Time,that's what I need access to.

 

I might just weld up some sheetmetal and stiffen it up real good with a sub-frame too.All depends on how much actual play time I get during the winter slow down.My boss says I'll be working at least 40hrs / week but I can always use the shop in off hours for projects.One of the guys that welds is young,the boss' son,so he'll be recruited for the majority of it.

LOL... that's a laugh riot... Tim's picture was in the Salem News (our local paper) riding his ancient F-O-R-D tractor with plow (he refuses to shovel, always work smarter, nor harder)... it's a bitty thing but he did plow our whole street when the plows didn't show up for 2 days... up here the driveways are spit distance long and wide... so it was a novelty for the passing news reporter... now a Brat with a plow... whoa! Headlines!

Ken,I still don't have a grey fender,sorry.I'll bump up the Brat extras.I'll keep my eyes open for you.

 

My Brat has a white fender on that sides. :-p
