milkman111083 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 hi, ive been looking to buy a brat for a while and recently found an 82 for sale. I believe i had heard somewhere that parts (to the 82 in particular, since it was a conversion year) of these are hard to find. Is that really an issue? do the 82s have any special problems? do they have the problem with the rusting fenders? I thought that 82s had the cyclops light in the middle of the grill, but this one dosent, does that mean that it is not an 82? that should get me started, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkman111083 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 since 82 is the first year of the generation 2s, are there any quirks associated with them? also ,if something breaks, are parts obtainable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The 82's should have come with them? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/Literature/brochures/1982-brat-j.jpg The brochures show Brats with Center lamps? But by the time a car is 25 years old many changes can take place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The majority of parts should be interchangable with later gen 2 Brats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobGoob Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 i dont think that brats had the third light only wagons through 80-82. but not completely sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Only 82 GL's had the center lamp. DL's did not. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow yellow Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Have 82 Gl came with third light.I don't know all the differences but did a complete restoration on it and was able to adapt parts from wagons hatch backs even some latter model vechicles "ea82 stuff". Buy it, enjoy it, keep it alive ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
