Engine is currently stock, but my buddy does have a closed deck ej20 that i'll be having off him at somepoint. I wanted to get all the exterior stuff done first before doing anything engine wise.

Very nice bud.
I've got three myself, a standard green one which is the daily runabout and soon to have an EJ22 and a hilo dccd. A rust bucket of a parts truck with some grand plans, and an impreza turbo converted on going project (soon to be for sale).
Anyhoop, loving your brat fella.

Heres a few pics, if it busys up your thread too much just shout and ill pull them off.
First brat arrived like this.
Had to sell it once finished like this. Apart from the wheels, decals, linex'd loadbay, rear LSD and rear disc conversion was standard.
After i sold it i still needed a brat in my life so bought a turbo converted one without engine and box. As it turned out it needed quite a bit of welding (which has just been finished
), it now has a low mileage turbo2000 engine and a fairly fresh DCCD box in it, but due to a change of circumstance (i need a brat that can get muddy and this ones too good to dent) is up for sale. In a previous life it saw santa pod.
Then theres my current runabout ..... its ratty, but gets used as these trucks are supposed to!
As it arrived
How it is now
Build thread ..... it had some work!

The plans are, red truck below is just for spares and floorpan is pretty much gone. The Ej22 out of the leggy is getting a dccd transfer box on its 5spd hilo gearbox and going into my current green runabout with a decent rear diff, then hopefully in a year or two ill cut the floorpan out of the green leggy, shorten it and put the outer body of the red spares truck onto it so it becomes a brat with a much more "dynamically friendly" suspension. This can then take a full GC8 suspension and brake setup .... not sure if ill make it a track setup or an off road setup yet but dont need to pin that down till the shells finished.
