I'm normally the kind of guy that accepts "Because I can!" as a perfectly acceptable answer to "Why?", but I think lines may have been crossed on this one.

I'd rock that as a daily driver.

My first thought as well.

That is awesome, though.

Those painted spaghetti noodles that are doubling as axles or steering rods (I think the dark blue is steering?) would not take much real use that those tires would invite. Then there's the stray june bug that'll fly right through that oil pan, valve covers, oil pan and leave your brains vulnerable during the ZA.

dark blue looks to be the steering arms.. the green are the Axles...

Some lines are meant to be crossed. Some are not. I like to cross all of them.

Talk about vulnerable components! What's the expected lifespan of that intercooler? A wombat would take it right off...

Is that a Brat with STi running gear under it?

More pictures of the ZAV Brat! This is from the dealer's website.

Three things pop to mind.
1 - Love the fake wood.
2 - that's actually in really nice shape inside
3 - seems like someone lowered the shifter about 8" I'd probably build a shift extension before the oil pan bash guard.

I think with that STi one.. I probably would have put the top mount in.

I also think that an XT with an STi Drivetrain would be bitchin
