Hi all
Ive had an Svx for about 10 yrs now, and always have
something interesting.
I picked up a decent low mileage 78 Brat the other day.
Wild Yellow, factory paint still, even has AC.
Ill post some pics up tomorrow when I get some more.

SWEET
Definitely post pics. There are very few Baja's around here but no Brats at all.

I love the early brats. My family had two Subaru wagons when I was growing up, a '75 and and '78... same 70's style.

been cleaning up the car more..
runs great but needs a clutch, so started taking it
apart today. Wow, its a pretty huge job. Lots to take off.
Should have it done in a few days between daily bs .
While everythings off Im going to clean the piss out of it
so it looks as good underneath as it does on top
Cant wait to take it out for its maiden voyage of next week.
I need more room to keep all my car...
because when I run out, it comes to the alternative..
and end up selling some

Nice find! What are your plans for her? Daily driver, modified, restored?

restore it mostly back to stock
and put it closely back to original and
drive it on weekends once in a while..
Az is pretty good for some off-roading dayz

Cool Brat! Like the push bar. Wonder where it was bought? I know that fellow scoobers have mentioned John Bloom, but I would like options.

the best I can tell, the pushbar skidplate combo
& stripe kit where
both dealer installed options.
It even had a set of dealer installed foglights at one
time. If you look at old original brochures, sometimes
they showed these items for sale in the back pages.
