Guys, based on the comments, it seems I need to make a little clarification. I did NOT buy this BRAT. I was on the fence about it after I went to see it. (Price/Rust) The next day at noon, not even 24hrs laters, I looked and the ad was deleted from FB Marketplace. I didn’t reach back out to the seller. So, I don’t know if he changed his mind about selling it, or it he sold it shortly after I left that afternoon. I am still on the hunt still for a BRAT.
I know this is unrelated, but I need your help. I have an 02 Outback LLB, and I got stuck in the snow today. What followed was a flashing AT light, and a p0748 code. It was a bit high centered on the snow. Is this an electrical issue? I'm perplexed. PLEASE! Thanks.
Good luck with that. Brats rusted to powder even in the less humid climate here, as did most Subarus of that era. A rust free one brings absolutely stupid money. several times what they sold for new like an original Toyota FJ or the 1966-76 Ford "box" Bronco.
If I ever found one, Im sure I could sell it up in the Peoples Republik of Boulder (CO) within minutes of listing it for full asking price on Craigslist.
Subaru, bring it back😢 🙏 brat
I'll buy it.
These brats are so cool! My bud had one in HS back in the mid 2000s and we drove it to all the skate parks in the US NW with our bmx bikes loaded in the back! Such good little cars!
Great times
First car I learned a manual trans in was a junkyard Subaru Brat. The thing was beat to hell, no doors on it, but yet the door chime still worked. Always loved these things, but living in Jersey either they have returned to Mother Earth or a Coke can.
Beautiful story you have there. LOL 😆💪🏼🤙🏼
1982 Brat owner here. I know you didn't purchase this, but I'd love to see you get one in the future and see some projects on it. Your tutorials are the best and Id love some on a Brat!
Keep up the awesome content.
My uncle has a 1982 or 83 BRAT, He lives in Logan WV. Its still in good condition, I remember riding in the back a few times. He let me drive it to my high school prom, It sits in his garage since he is to old to drive now. I want it, I hope to own it someday.
Plenty left In Australia 🇦🇺. As they where still built and sold until about 1994. Plenty of them used on farms around the country. So didn’t rust. Still see them around regularly especially in county towns.
Brat is one of my favorite Subarus. Definitely worth restoring and driving. There are a couple nice lifted Brats up here in the Northwest but they are extremely rare now. Way cooler than the Baja but very lacking in performance. Not sure if it’s possible to put a turbo EJ engine in there, might be a fun project.
I've seen videos with them. Not sure if they had to clearance the frame rails with a hammer or not-there's a decent amount of space in the engine compartment, but I'm not sure if it's enough for going from OHV to OHC. A SOHC EJ22 would double the power, get good mileage, be easy to get at the plugs, and be bulletproof. I had an '84 wagon and '83 sedan and used to want to find an '83/4 hardtop to put an EJ22 in plus maybe convert to RWD, but I could never find one in good shape. Sure a turbo would be fast, but even with about 140 hp with the decent low end of an EJ22, it would be entertaining in something so light. These were designed for 65-95 hp (the latter with a turbo), so to try to get the chassis up to the point of dealing with the power of an EJ turbo would be a lot more time and money that could go into something better in the first place.
I had a brat in 90”. I called it “My Sue-B”.
You can swap out the old ea81 with an ej motor using an adapter plate. But if you want to improve the performance of the ea81... get a better exhaust, use ea82 intake manifolds with the larger intake pattern of 80x43mm, weber carby and a 5 speed box if you also want to keep the fuel economy to 6L/100km or 39mpg.
I just discovered “Mr Subaru” recently and started to binge watch your videos. They’re good! I’m on my fourth Forrester I bought a used 2000 a 2010, 2012 and now I’m driving a 2015 with a CVT that I bought in December of 2014. Love them all.
I don’t have a Brat but I do have an 83 4x4 GL Wagon. It’s got rust for sure but runs like a champ.
That rust on the front end would make me pass on that one. You might find one in the Sothwest, but you would need a good truck and trailer. The Brats up North Vaporized along time ago.👍
Love it! Even if it is rough. Plaid seats! It reminds me of the 1989 GL Wagon I used to own. Slower than molasses but reliable.
BTW, if anyone is wondering, that round thing under the hood is a rubber flywheel. 😉
LOL--first thing removed to do a clutch on early Subarus.
In the UK lot's and lot's of farmers used this Subaru, it wasn't called the brat in the UK but it was a very well respected vehicle. This was in the early days of Subaru when no one really knew much about them.
My birth year is 87 too lol. Anyway my first car was a 1984 white subaru le brat it had the awd step to help you in the bed. T-top, and roll cage on the back with fog lights but it had the seats in the bed taken out. At first I was embossed to drive it. But it was fun to drive and all my friends loved it. So eventually I came around and loved the car. Wish I Still had it.
Just found your channel, I'll be binge watching your videos. Also, I just bought two 1984 BRATs and will be picking them up in a couple weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing you work on yours!
This brings me back. My first 4 cars were Subarus, an 81 GL wagon i got when i graduated from high school in 89, it was a rusty bucket even then. I kept it a year and got a 83 GL wagon that was much nicer (power windows and velour seats not the vinal and plaid). Totaled it and got an 82 wagon, it had the center light, it worked kind of the opposite as fog lights, when on it came on with the high beams. had that car when i joined the Air Force in 91. I went to Jones Chevorlet in Sumter SC to get brake adjusters for the rear, they still had a Subaru sign up but had stopped selling subarus because they didn't want to compete with the Geo line chevy was selling a the time. so this was early 92, went back to pick up my parts and they had an 89 XT and i took it home, left the brake parts in the back seat. Kept that car a couple years, loved loved loved it (front wheel drive only), but traded it for a family car when my daughter came along. Seeing the new 2022 BRZ, i want one bad, I'm going to wait till my truck is paid off but i'm getting that BRZ.
Hy mr subaru!
We had a glf 1.8… the first subaru my family’s own..
Strong and immortal car!
Bye from italy!
I saw this on FB, it’s definitely not often you can find these around here!
Subaru Brats are called Brumby in Australia. They have become highly collectable these days. Very popular down under.
I worked Subaru dealer 72-86. First BRAT was 78. My brother was first certified Subaru tech in state of Kentucky. We cut back seats out during PDI. Don’t think we ever sold any of them. I got to watch their evolution. Can tell you a ton of stuff about them. My first Subaru was 1973. Manual choke, trans, steering. Actually everything was. No automatic trans till 75 and it was terrible. Retired now after 45 years. Still enjoy all these car repair videos you all put out. Best wishes for the new year. Del
Happy New Year!
My parents had an 82 Subaru GL 2 door. I remember my dad replacing the cv axle boots
Wow! It’s in good shape. Should be fun to see you work on it. I actually liked this car for a Subaru.😆
Oh man what a throw back. I had a 85 GL Wagon. Loved that car to the day it got t-boned.
I saw one being driven a few months ago in MD. Hadn’t seen one in years as they never sold many and not many survived the winters in salt states. Good luck in your search.
'87 Model? Dang, might know your folks
Subaru had a dealer as of late 70's in North Chuck off Rivers Ave, right where I526 crosses now
bought our Subies there. Had a 81 Brat, Black, shark nose, seats; would love to still have it and let you rebuild it
I used to fly through Francis Marion in the Brat, surprising all the Broncos, Blazers in the woods
Happy Hunting!
Wish you coulda got a good one. You already have a lot of the collection I wish I could, hah. I'll catch up eventually. It is a shame so many have died to rust. Glad this one will get to keep living in the South, hopefully. Stick shift, love those seats, nice blue. Def a lot of small issues that could be hard to solve. Fun video!
Yeah, meant to reach back out to the seller. See if he changed his mind on selling or if he sold it that fast.
I really hope you find one! Its always been a top 5 subaru for me, theyre so cool and different, like a mini awd el camino haha
💯
Loved the style of these "trucks " when I was a kid.
There is a subaru specialty garage not far from my house, I would walk the dogs there just to check the brat long term project they would park outside every couple of weeks.
I'm in quebec Canada where they put so much salt down the water puddles don't freeze, so yeah not a lot of 80's cars still around 😐
Our (kids from the 80's/90's) only exposure to the Subaru Brat was the scaled-down electric ⚡ R/C car from the famous Japanese remote control manufacturer called Tamiya. Tamiya was a lot more famous for model boxed cars, hundreds of pieces to build and eventually paint.
Later on, as the years went by, young Doctors started purchasing used Subarus and would do all the maintenance work on their own.
Wow!!! Please! Keep us posted on the progress onward.
Seems like a fun project if you manage to locate one. My only concern would be finding parts for it.
The were made in Japan until 1994. The were sold in the Australian market and other markets until about 1995. As as a result parts are still available from Australia. You can even get new tail gates after market. The Australian Market bull bar looks really great on these trucks (Utes). I have one on mine. They were called "the Brumby" in Australia.
I own an 1983 Subaru brat, which I bought from California. I live in the North East, and use it as a three season daily driver. I get lots of questions about it. It has the Australian spec bull bar, tonneau cover, rear bumperettes. No rear seats. So it is a left hand drive Brumby! There is a right hand drive brat in Australia. You can see a video about it on youtube. It has the decals and the rear seats, and a motor out of a WRX in it!
Oh I hope you find a Brat to buy! Would love to see a series on you working on these.
I’m so jealous, I’ve wanted a brat for years but they are like hens teeth over here. Also the only one I found was £6000 Sterling before import and charges to Ireland.
As a final touch,fit WRX running gear!!
I like the BRAT, I've wanted one for a long time.
Love to see some videos on older subarus I have a 1990 gl fun car
Cool things,here in Oz called Brunby (wild horse) becoming quite valuable farmers loved them. Would be a wonderful addition to the collection at some time. I remember seeing one full WRX running gear just stunning.
I remember that from Fast 4s and Rotaries in the late 90's with the turbo sticking out of the hood (what inspired the boys at MCM, I believe).
There’s another one just hit the track. Also one for sale in Perth a few months ago for $12k fully engineered with turbo liberty running gear.
@@derekjemerson1378 wow nice I have a 93 RS liberty owned it now 24 years just a great car. Brumby prices only going one way over here.☝👍
Wow i remember them now after seeing this Brat , haven't seen one in decades.
Probably should've bought it on the spot as they are super rare and it even had sunroof.
Wow I had the chance to drive one of theses while living in Australia 🇦🇺 very cool we machine the 4x4 is a bit weird as it front wheel drive on till you put it into 4x4
I had an 87 GL. Had an issue and had to park it. Ended up getting towed by the city. Kinda wish i still had it.
I've loved them for so long...
Sadly in michigan they didn't last to long in the rust as was the ones my uncle had. But I kept the Jump sheet front one of his cars. Want to pick up a Australian - brumby to put it in. They stopped getting them in the 90s.
I had a Subaru DL (it was probably about a '73?) In the early '80s - it was front wheel drive car simply unstoppable, sisters couldn't kill it, and a real POS ... but that thing would always start and run! It would also never get stuck in the Minnesota snow.
The center lamp was called a passing lamp in the owners manual. Always found that funny.
The white ones looked amazing want one bad, my grandpa has a XT, not currently running though😟
Bummer. Hope steel prices come down soon so you can build a shop.
On the bucket list for sure
I've been having multiple Baja sightings here in Denver suddenly
Man I wish I could find me a brat even in that condition I’d take it if the price was right. Unfortunately you didn’t snag this bad boy up because I’d love to see more about it! Hopefully you can find a good one, I’m trying to find one before you do tho. Nearly impossible in Michigan to find anything other then a rust bucket.
Finally!
merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Look for 360 Subaru Van 360. It is 2 cycle engine van. It is quite different than the modern one.
Center headlight was a novelty. Most ornament motors got water in them and quit working in two years. Yes it was carbureted.
Hoping the Baja doesn't go the way of the Brat. Probably won't because they share so much with the Legacy/Outback. Love these quirky old Subarus.
-Spare tire in the engine bay
man subaru was wildin in the 80s
My neighbor has an old Sabaru brat it sitting outside it runs but has electrical problem! The son put the battery in wrong somehow! He may want to sell it
Oh no! Probably let the smoke out doing that move!
@@MrSubaru1387 Buy it cheap, swap an EJ. ;)
Not a lot of electrical on a car that old. Especially compared to today’s cars. If he put the battery on backwards it could just have some blown fuses and relays.
a prime candidate for Subarus Anonymous if I ever saw one
That thing is mint for my area!
this may be your coolest one yet
Good job man!
.. What's the name of the rock music in the intro ?
I have a 1982 brat in heated storage fo 35 years no rust no rips or cracks inside 70 tho miles even carpet in the bed this is the one if you want more info let me know
Where?
In Delaware
@@MrSubaru1387 still looking for a brat
Theyre was a Brat at a Subaru shop on 29 between China Grove and Salisbury a few months ago. U might know the shop. He has maybe 40 or 50 cars sitin around the building. Dont think it was a customer car from where it was parked. Just FYI....
There's someone nearby here in colorado that has 3-4 of them in their yard, I think they rebuild them.
Happy hunting. Brats are quite rare everywhere it seems. Are you any further forward with getting your 'shop' built. The last time I can remember you talking about the workshop you had issues getting a price for laying the floor?
I was able to get all my prices in Nov, before the election. Held off till after that was settled, mistake. Prices have skyrocketed. The original $100k estimate is currently around $160k… Holding off for normalcy.
Awesome
I have an ‘87 GL Wagon 1.8 carbed 5spd true 4x4…recently I have replaced plugs, wires, coil(twice), distributor very recently rebuilt…but I cannot get a spark…she wants to turn over and does…but no spark…I am at a loss as to what to do…I asked a mechanic friend about the ignition switch and he said nope…but I have a lawn ornament and she needs to be on the road…ideas
Can’t wait to see the restoration
Well, unfortunately it sold, or went off market right after I looked at it...
@@MrSubaru1387 Worth following up. You never know. These are getting very rare in any condition.
I have 2 GC sedans and 1 GF wagon let me knownif u want to buy one lol 😍🤩🥰 subies for life !
Amazing
I know where there’s a very nice looking Brat here in Virginia, but I’m not sure if it’s for sale. I’ll find out and let you know if it’s for sale.
I would love to see a video doing a tour of all your Subarus. I haven't searched you channel yet to see if you've done one or not. I also just sent you email with a craigslist ad link for a guy in Oregon looking at selling his collection. I have no association, just thought you'd be interested in it.
I second this. I would also like to see a tour of his Subarus.
I also feel he should definitely look over on this side of the country for a Subaru too. Down here in the dessert, he could find a nice older Subaru with absolutely no rust on it because it's so dry here. It'd be a blast for him to restore, compared to working on a car from the south.
My wife would love to have a new version of the brat
MrSubaru1387, I've got a quick question. Out of your 20 or so cars do you have an Outback Sedan Eddie Bauer edition? I have a project in mind for one
Love the brat! Off subject question, 2005 Outback failed timing belt, rebuildable?
Can be. Depending on the damage.
Where is my oil dipstick on 1984 SubaruGL. It says transmission and diff under the tire is all I see? Please help
Im trying to think of what would make an NA fail with 75,000 miles with regular service any ideas? Friend of mine had hers fail with this little of miles
Aw man I was really hoping you had found your unicorn. I know you’ve been hunting hard for one for years.
I wonder if any other car company in the 80s had a full size tire in the middle of the engine bay 😆
What part of SC you from? I'm from Sumter
Did you see the one is South Mills NC for 4k or the one in Greer SC?
I'll go look!
@@MrSubaru1387 you find them? Anything worth looking at in person?
The little soo-bar-oooo. Wow
Now would you put the seats in the bed of the truc... back of the "sedan"?
Subaru Brat was a mini El Camino.
Some day I want to buy a Subaru Justy, and cram WRX STI powerplant and drive-train into it.
Jesus..I was 13 in 1987..😭
😂 we're all getting older.. Everyday.
Does it have apple carplay or android auto?
😂 😂 😂
At a party in Arkansas a guy with a brat ran in the ditch Me and another buddy drove up Chris reached in the driver's window and dragged him out running towards my old Toyota truck he ran the drunk brat driver into the bed of my pickup flipping him into the back then said take him to the house i will drive the brat. He was always drunk but could outshoot anyone around a brat was what you need in Southern Arkansas!
Bro but have you sold that Outback sedan
I haven't yet. No.
Does anyone have a mechanic that specializes in Subaru in Chicago or NW Indiana.
I know you are an east coaster and it is probably to far for you? However, it appears there is ‘seemingly’ perfect example of what you desire in Clatskanie, OR near The WA/OR boarder. Description “Clean and straight with canopy runs great comes with new windshield extra wheels, tires and spare parts”. The pictures look nice for the age. The owner is asking $7500 OBO. Pretty steep! However, I don’t know that you can find one this nice anywhere else? Most are all gone, either rotten or just junk not worth the time. If you determine that you are interested and speak first to the owner? I would be willing to go take a hands-on look, photos and give you an honest opinion of the condition. Otherwise, good hunting.
First thing cut that restrictive muffler out ASAP.. They are so restrictive you can literally feel a difference in drivability! like gain over 5hp! That doesn't sound like much but they only came with like 90hp!

I have have 3 MVs (BRATs) here in England , 1980 , 1984 and 1987. Production didn't end till 1992 but the just stopped selling them in the US. The last one was sold here in England in 1994 ! Check out my video on UA-cam of my rare 1984 "Hookback" truck ...

the elusive brumby
Hahaha yes! Only found in the high country hehehe
I have an86
Found one posted
You mean you didn't grow up with radio jingles being beaten into your brain in the early 80s?
"I'll be smiling at you in my new Subaru, I got a Swift Dart deal!"
Swift Dart Subaru.....
"I didn't want it to sit for a year..."
Bruh... it's been sitting 21.... what's one more? Buy it a beer, take it to a strip club, and build that shop already ;)
I just sent you a PM on instagram :) if you're interested in a rust free 86 Brat let me know!
