The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

My apologies if it has already been covered, (couldn't find it after search). Has anyone heard or done a gas conversion on a brumby/ea81 motor? With the big project at the moment it is probably out of the mods list for the moment but I would be interested if it is possible? I will be doing a lot of ...

Starting to get the bits and pieces on....I think I like it better clean ......less headaches haha

The power window kit in place, now just finishing off hooking up all the wiring between dash and loom and then exhaust and start the engine for the first time

Cheers for that, I did have a look at it, glad I didn't get it now

Very cheap for the work done on it!

I would love to be behind the wheel, I am guessing it would go like the dogs wotsits

+1 to frog for the sales work

and today I painted and started to fit the rear bar (not sure whether I like the red yet)

hmmm and I am guessing it was only touch dry as you can clearly see my fingerprints ... doh!!

Not sure if the red is a bit over the top but I will let it sit and see if it g...

Update pics, engine and transmission now in, car lifted and finally getting somewhere

Thank you so much for your advice guys...managed to remove the control arm and burnt out the bushings...:) ....now have hit my next problem. I ordered the 28mm nolathane bushings which I believe you have to remove the metal casing that was around the original bushing....I have used a hack saw and cu...

Not that I would assume anyone else would make this stupid mistake but I thought I would throw it out there as a bit of an oops story. After removing the ball joints from the hub I was left with the control arm and the need to remove both the bushing and the ball joint. didn't quite have anything ri...

Thanks for the help guys, did end up getting them out...ending up putting a jack under and it obviously just moved them enough that when I dropped it back down and gave the control arm a hit they popped straight out...now just need to install the new ones...on initial look they seemed very marginall...

Hi guys Just trying to remove the ball joints out of the brumby so that I can both replace them as well as free the control arm so I can change the control arm bushings. So far had no luck freeing it up....as you can see in the pick below I have removed all bolts etc but don't know how to remove it ...

Ok so have been mucking around for the afternoon trying to install some nice new Nolathane bushings for the control arm of my 1989 Brumby. I knew it would be a pain in the arse job and it sure did not disappoint. In typical arvo after work can't be bothered fashion I tried to remove the old ones wit...

done

Sounds good to me love seeing what others do, plus it is always nice seeing another brumby haha. where abouts are you in the rebuild stage?

Cheers for the replies guys. My next point of call was to just pm Frog haha I do remember from my days at supercheap It said that I could order rubber pads in pretty cheap but they were the same code for the liberty and a couple of others so I wasn't sure about them. I do like them gary, I would pre...

When I bought the brumby it had some awful aftermarket pedal covers that made me cringe, I then replaced them with ones that were only slightly better. The problem with both sets were that because the pedals are so close together you couldn't drive with shoes on or there was a fairly good chance you...

Gary I thought it might have been you. I believe that this bloke had a lot of brumby items for sale. Yet I haven't seen any old subies driving around

Just saw this on ebay, it will be interesting to see how much it goes for. I can't imagine there would be too many of these popping up
