    I have a beater – a new project I’m overly enthused about. I need parts. Where do you guys find them? I need a donor car, not just from a catalog. This car is obscure enough I probably can’t find a catalog for parts anyway.

    The car is an ’82 Subaru Brat, and I’m pretty sure it’s the love of my life. Well actually it’s a pile of crap, but it’s awesome to me. It’s older than I am, and that makes it totally classic.

    I need both doors, drivers side A-pillar, door jamb, rocker, fender. Passenger side rocker. The bed is rusted out at the front between the cab and bed – the bottom corner there where the bed meets the cab is actually a separate piece of metal than the actual inside of the cab – like a truck with a separate bed but simply spot welded higher up.

    The frame is good, floor pans…. ARE INTACT! I can’t believe it.

    I’ll get pics up here soon, but I’m hitting up the forums for leads at this point. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    not much luck so far on that site, except for the real common stuff like fenders…

    I’m told by a friend that there are lots of these old subaru’s in eastern Washington. Anybody out in that area? or Oregon?
