Zefy Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 so my tailgate was getting rusty, the subaru emblem has seen better days, and there was overspray on the badges... so i desided to get rid of all of that stuff! and here is the result... (trim, handle, hinges, ect ect still need to be put on but the work is done) like my new shoes?:-p what do people think about the gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zefy Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 That thing looks brand new! Did you paint it? And does the rest of your Brat look that good? unfortunatly no it doesn't all look that good... however i got some repro fiberglass fenders and i'm working on the little bits around the car... the car was yellow... i don't like that colour, so it's gonna be flat black primer until i can afford a real paint job... it's work in progress...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(fiberglass fender) He's got a few,and a slight deal on the one or two that are damaged.Just curious,becuase I was hoping he'd not sell any for a long while and drop his price. Someone on this board knows the guy as I recall. I actually have one side in fiberglass too,but can't seem to bite the bullet and buy the other from this guy on eBay....not when I paid like $15 for the one I have.:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I know this is off topic and wrong forum, anybody know if those fiberglass fenders are availible for gen 2's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waimaks Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm likin the talegate. Eventually you should try and get some subaru badges of that era to put on there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefy Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm likin the talegate.Eventually you should try and get some subaru badges of that era to put on there somewhere. i was actually trying to get away from that... i don't want it to look like a tailgate from 79... i wanted to update the look... hence the shaved subaru badge... if i'm going to use badges at all i am going to use new ones... plus it'll be kinda funny since pretty much nobody is going to know what it is without the badges on the back...

waimaks Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing some finished finished pictures. Nice work anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danrenfroe2016 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Wow Looks Great! I going the same way, NEW style Badges. Is the big subaru logo glued on? Or small holes? Because I want to get rid of mine as well. I want to go with the lettering from a 2002 WRX. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I want to get rid of mine as well. I want to go with the lettering from a 2002 WRX. Thanks. the 'BRAT' and '4WD' logos are glued on but the brat one is indented... i filled it... the 'SUBARU' logo is actually bolted on... look under it where the plate lights are... the whole badge is indented and with it off it looks horrible... i welded in a plate and fiberglassed over it to make it smooth... this is pretty much the only way to do it... that plate overhangs just like the old one so i can still have plate lights... i'm probably gonna get rid of the stockers and use LED's...

86BRATMAN Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 You should get one of those BIG a$$ subaru badges from the 06+ Impreza and just leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool, I was looking at mine today and thought some welding was involved. It looks 1000% better than stock. I figure it a very worthy mod. -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
