The Beast I Drive Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 I also like how you chopped the rear quarters! Looks good. I just did that to my Brat. I had to, when I got the car the rear valance and quarters were trashed, as were the front fenders. I replaced the fronts but i couldnt fix the damage in the rear, so I chopped it off and I like how it cam out, it will work very well for the bumpers Im building for it. This car was heavily abused in its former life, there is not a single panel on this car that doesnt have damge, and the underside is pretty beat up too. There is a little bit of rust starting to develope in the rear wheel arches as well, but I plan on cutting out the fenders a bit anyway so its not a problem. Still looking for new doors, both mine are trashed. The drivers door is splitting in two , not to mention the apparent shotgun/roll damage. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 That's cool well it definitely worked out in your favor! Yeah I'd like to find some doors as well, mine are getting a little rusty on the bottoms. But finding doors for a Brat/Hatch around here is pretty impossible:-\ And all those dents on the body are just made so you can fit down the trails better!

The Beast I Drive Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Im syre it will have plenty of dents after I paint it and wheel it a bit Most here have seen what happened to my wagon, the Hatch will prolly stay nicer longer, but it will get damaged Im sure. Its NOT gonna be a show queen -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Update! My new shocks came! These are Pro Comp ES1000 shocks, I got them about 7 inches longer than stock to compensate for having the torsion bars cranked up. I had to enlarge the slots on the mounting bracket, but that was easy cheesy lemon peezy. I havent installed them yet, my tires might rub them until I get them on new wheels, but I will find out tomorrow. The modification to the brackets next to the stock one -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
