thewestsidegroup Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Good Day I am restoring a 1978 Subaru Brat. I am looking for the decals, engine parts, and suspension parts for this vehicle. I am sure that you guys can source us the needed parts and accesories. Anyone that can duplicate the decals on the side of the bed?

thewestsidegroup Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 FYI..My company, The Westside Group LLC, has been commisioned to restore this 1978 Brat that belonged to President Reagan. I viewed posts from an earlier member that mentioned that he had the vehicle and was restoring it. I am not sure what the outcome was with his project but we ended up with it. Anyway...this forum is an excellent resource for us. We work in the Automotive Advertising Industry doing the Vehicle Support for Film and TV. One of our clients is Subaru and we were fortunate to get this project. We are excited to take part in a historical restoration. From my understanding, this Brat was his favorite ride. I am looking for pictures of Ron and the Brat...I would appreciate the reference photos. I will post what the car looks like tomorrow or Friday.

waimaks Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Wow, thats really interesting, President Reagan drove a Brat! Wasn't he the actor? The only reason I know anything of him is because of the 'Back to the Future' Trilogy. Woo go Subaru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I have a pretty good selection of interior/exterior and mechanical parts. I don't have everthing, but usually someone on the board will have what you need. I have responded to your email on the stripes. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
