Seller Write-up

Selling my 1978 Subaru Brat only because I need to buy a more practical car. It runs and drives, heads turn everywhere I go. It’s been such a fun car to drive around town but now it’s time to pass the torch.

• When I bought this a few years back, there was an electrical issue that would blow a fuse after it was warmed up, that issue is now fixed (new voltage regulator)
• There was also a leak that ruined the carpet and pad so I took it all out and replaced it, and so far as I can tell, I fixed the leak too.
• I also installed two additional speakers and a sub/amp
• New coolant overflow
• New windshield wiper motor/sprayer
• New seat belts
• Brand new Weber carburetor (haven’t had to time to put it in)
• Some random other parts
• 3 service manuals
• Clean title (passes deq no problem when idle and mixture screws are set to spec)
