Does anyone have more info on this car?

Im looking for more info on this Subaru Brat with a STI drivetrain. I can get a rust free 85 brat for next to nothing and would like to know what is involved in this swap or at least a 2.2 upgrade. Thanks

Thanks Huck the local junkyard has excellent prices on parts and has enough Subarus to build something like this for not too much money. Now if I can fit a SVX motor with a 5 speed into a Brat

Re: Does anyone have more info on this car?

I was thinking a EG or EZ H6 and manual gearbox into a ~2005 era forester would be kinda cool, kitted for soft-roading, with brush guards and lights and such... Turbo is good, but thirsty and lots of parts to maintain. a nice smooth H6 might be nice.

I never understood why the Outback's EZ-H6 never made it into the Baja, or the new Forester as a top-end model, like LLBean or something...

I also think the new Forester should have the body back-halved for Baja II mini-SUT duty, and properly equipped to haul and tow at least up to 100% of it's own weight worth of trailer...

You need to PM me the phone number and location of this junk yard....as there is nowhere to get parts around here...and Crossville isn't THAT far away...

Can you get 2?
A cheap rust free brat = a unicorn. Been searching for one myself.
