Vehicle Detail
1986 Subaru Brat, motor starts and runs very well, driven frequently. Issues: broken side marker lens; probably needs alignment, because the front end vibrates above 55 MPH; right front brake pads have begun to grind a little bit; right front axle boots have been torn for a long time, although the axle still seems OK; Radio is from 1987 Subaru wagon, and does not work; clutch has been slipping mildly for a couple of years, new cat and muffler, but needs tailpipe and resonator; gas tank has a leak above quarter-full; rear shock mounts rusted loose years ago and have been bolted to the wheel wells (very effectively, I might add); and overall pretty rusty. It might be possible to restore it, but that's not my line of work, so I don't know. I did show some pics of the underside to a Subaru enthusiast a while ago, and he said it wasn't that bad. If it's just a parts car, at least it's one that you can drive (at 55 or less). Spare parts go with car. On Dec-17-11 at 09:16:55 PST, seller added the following information: I just took some better pictures that illustrate the rust along about a one-foot section of the frame rails near the front of the passenger compartment, right where they curve upward on both sides of the car. These are the worst areas of rust on the underbody. See them at: http://s1082.photobucket.com/albums/j376/tomw5/Brat%20frame%20rails/
