Adam N.D.J. Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Couldn't remember if you ever got to see your Brushguard mounted on my Brat, so here is a pic of when it was mounted on the Brat: And here it is on on it's new home, my 84 Turbo Hardtop: http://usmb.net/albums/album11/brushguard.jpg Jes though I'd let you know that I still got it, and get some good use out of it, (it's saved the Brat from 3 deer, and the coupe from 2, maybe it should be a deer guard instead of a brush guard!)

SteelyDel Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hello Adam Nope, never get to see it since it was shipped to your place long time ago. I think the other guard similar to yours was in that red wagon owned by some dude who lives here in Ca. Looks good man, next time I make one will be 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 inch tubings. How's the Brat project of yours moving along? If you need any assistance just e-mail- del4130@hotmail.com Or you need any info about the rear trailing arms or suspension related questions let me know. You're ahead of me already, can't get started until I get my tubing bender this coming Dec. I've been looking around for a 4WD Coupe, I like 'em too. There's one in Las Vegas but it's not 4WD. Don't sell the one you have now, it's definitely a keeper. NICE! Del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Hey Del, I'm selling my 84 Turbo Coupe. I'm in the process of repairing some minor rust and doing a tranny swap (keeping the 3AT 4XPB). If your interested let me know. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Del, the other guard like that did indeed go to Shay in CA, but I bought his wagon from him 2.5 years ago, and I am selling the wagon this saturday... your guard helped save the wagon from an untimely death when I hit a buck going 65 mph! the guard has since been modified for a custom bumper, but still awesome.... Current pic of guard as you can see, the deer impact made a nicebend in the top bar, but it was nearly symetrical, so I left it that extra piece you put on those 2 guards was a big improvement in the strength...

Adam N.D.J. Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 The Brat is comeing along nicely. In the last 8 months I've put a lot of work into it. I was in Egypt on another deployment just before that, so I had a little cash to do stuff. Among all the mods, a 6" lift kit that adds a frame between the unibody and suspension, ER27 out of an XT-6, bobtailed it 17 inches, put in a 5spd dual range, which feeds into a nissan transfercase, and two rear diffs (on is in the front). So now it's an H-6 powered rear wheel drive with 20 forward gears. I also took out all the stock sheet metal on the front end, it was all cruched and pretty much worthless, so I made a new slide off front end, so I can slide off the front to work on the motor, which is crammed into the engine bay. I've got a bunch of pictures in my gallery, I keep it pretty updated as I do stuff. My Gallery Here's a pic of what it looks like now, as you can see, it needs a new brushguard, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
