Hey Everyone, With the brumby now running well I am looking to tweak a few things. We have done a fair bit to increase the breathing capability of the engine. Webber Carb, ported heads, custom exhaust etc. However the air filter that came with the carb is tiny. A very small surface area to suck air ...

Thanks for the advice guys, turned out to be the flasher unit. The one I purchased from supercheap although it fit the plug did not work. After taking the flasher unit apart I noticed a connection was loose so re soldered it and running perfectly now

Hi everyone, Having issues with the brumby indicators. They first cut out completely while driving down the road, after chasing fuses and the likes they suddenly decided to start working again. They worked for a couple of trips then cut out again, it seems to be a intermittent fault. I have checked ...

Mate this sounds great, I don't know how I missed this post but will send a text through tomorrow and we can work out what you want for them.

Cheers

Standard interior door cards for 89 Brumby. Don't have to be anything too fancy and not looking to pay the earth, just undamaged door cards.

PM and let me know what you have. Brisbane QLD

Cheers

Brilliant, always handy having people on here to ask :). We were looking at doing a custom made interior for the brumby project but with a second paint job the budget has been blown. Just looking to see what options we have to have an armrest, plus we have electric window winders set up so needed so...

Hey Everyone, I need to draw on the vast knowledge we have on here. I was trawling ebay for brumby parts and saw a targa top for sale. It had this centre console set up I have never seen before. Does anyone know what it is from as I am looking at custom interior options at the moment however would m...

Heard good things about these guys, might be worth a look .

So after the devastating hail damage, she is in for another respray and a lot of man hours fixing up the body. The fenders have also been flared, they don't stand out too much in these pics so it will be interesting to see how far they managed to get them out. This paint job is a thousand times bett...

Unfortunately not that I have been able to find. It was the first place I looked. Only found a place that were happy to mould up and make new sets however they would need a good factory set to start. Managed to get a set thanks to a member on here so hopefully that will get us through :) Surprised n...

Sorry to hear about the poor brumby mate, send me a pm as I am definitely interested (half is better than none ) Depending on condition I might be interested in taking the door off you too, if you were interested.

Hi Guys, I have asked this question before but am still in need of some help. I am after the weather seals for the doors on my 89 brumby. The hard strip on either side of the window that prevents water from getting inbetween the door. The soft strips around both the door and the cab. I have asked th...

Thanks RSR, my "body" lift kit came with all the lifting blocks for the body and front struts but nothing for the rear shocks. As the original shocks are now operating in a more extended position, I'm thinking that I have to find some blocks to fit at the top of the rear shocks or source some shocks...

To take this discussion further, with a 2" lift kit fitted, do the standard rear shocks work OK or should there be a block at the top to compensate for the extra height? Thanks.

Yeah they even sell kits to get that 22B look with the 2 door and significantly widened quarters and arches. Pretty cool, the trick I guess with the brumby is it is very boxy so I wonder whether the curves would look quite odd. I must admit I really like the idea of a smooth subtle finish with a wel...

I wish I had the time/skill to give this a go however I think my time is better spent finishing the rest of the ute with engine/interior/driveline work. I am fortunate enough to know quite a few panel shops capable of this job through my business. ( http://www.ausgarage.com.au ) My main question was...

So after the hail the Brumby needs a significant amount of bodywork and then almost a complete respray. We were going to take the opportunity to put on some over fenders to make the existing tyres/wheels and any future options legal. However considering the paint needs to be redone I would prefer to...

Updates You may have all seen my recent thread and how just as the Brumby was put on the road it was smashed up quite severely by a hail storm. (link http://ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?p=207436#post207436 ) So from here we have a lot of work to get it back to it's previous condition. Luckily ther...

That is definitely the worst hail I have seen around in a couple of years, my cars that were at home only had golf ball or smaller dints. The ones that hit my while I was in the brumby were cricket ball sized mixed in with golf balls.

Yeah I used a very cheap version of the glue based dent pullers and was surprised how well that worked however the glue was so frustrating to remove each time. I am hoping this will be a much quicker alternative. Hopefully I will get to give it a go today and I will keep you all updated.
