Matt Monson Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi. Many of you know me from other boards and have been telling me that I need to join here. Well, I never did until today because I never owned an old Sube until today. I just completed the purchase of a 1979 Brat. So, here I am. I won't be picking up the car for a week or so, but will post some pictures once I get her. She's an ugly old thing with a big old ding in the DS rear 1/4 and some surface rust here and there. I have no idea how rusty the bed is because it's currently full of garbage:mad: But that's ok. She'll get the full treatment and once I get my hands on her, I don't expect her to see the light of day for 18-24 months. Well, that's enough for now. And for those of you who don't know me, I look forward to meeting you, especially the old skool junkies whom I will lean on heavily for technical knowledge in the coming year...

kingbobdole Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Howdy! If you're up at Christophe's project this Sunday, I'll see you there... I'm buying his motor:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Monson Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Haven't checked this thread in a few days. Thanks for the warm welcome all. I don't know if I will make it to Christophe's this weekend or not as my back let go on me on Monday. Shawn, I am sure you will see me down at the shop looking for stuff. The funny thing is I was there talking to Rick about his old Brat and my personal dreams of ownership just 3 days before I found mine. Laura, Thanks for the compliment. It's genuine modesty. I have never considered anything I know about these cars unique or special to me and am always happy to pass it on. And of course I seek out others with the same mentality, and knowledge that I don't possess that will pass it on to me. I have started my reading about the 1st gen Subes. Seems there's a lot to know and a lot to explore about what will and will not work on my chassis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
