This is a custom Subaru Brat.  I bought two of them when I was in Alaska and was able to make one good one out of the parts from the other.  I get a lot of cool stories and thumbs up everywhere I go with it.  This has been my daily driver for the past 6 years.  I have done all the mods myself.  The only things that have ever gone bad for me were the starter and alternator.  I have put new wheel bearings and seals. axle shafts. and larger radiator for the larger engine.  It has a fuel injected 2. 2 out of a 1995 wagon with 170hp.   The stock engine only had half of that.  The engine had 80. 00 on it when I removed it from the wagon.  I have since put about 3000 miles/year.  I work only 6 miles from home and ride my motorcycle often.  It has 6 lug hubs with new Chevy 6 lug wheels and tires.  I put a 5 speed out of a 1989 wagon in it.  The Brat never came with a 5 speed.  This transmission is a 4x4.  The original 4 speed comes with the truck as well.  The 4 speed has 2hi. 4hi and 4low the 5 speed has just 2hi and 2low.  The linkage in the 5 speed is getting loose and will need some attention soon but still works fine.  It comes with 3 sets of wheels and tires.  One set of U255's with Strata 255/35ZR20 tires 75% tread left. the second set is Good year Wranglers P235/75R15 on new black rims with 90% tread left and the third set were studded tires I used in Alaska.  I removed the studs and the tires are almost bald now but the wheels are good.
Extra parts that come with this truck are:hood4sp transmissiondriveshaftT-topsT-top sealsRear axleVarious trim pieces
This is NOT a rust free machine.  It has rust forming on the fenders and under the doors.  The floor is usually the first to go on these but this one is in great shape.
