ok, i want an honest opinion... i'm not very mechanically minded, i can do a fair bit, but if it's too technical i'll be lost... how difficult is it to put a 5 speed off a EA-82 on to an EA-81? i've been reading through the threads and some of the technical jargon is losing me, is it as big a job as...

nah, i did think about it... but decided, since it was a first time build i would KISS it..

just concentrating on functionality, some one else can use my technique(if it works) and make it flash if they want..

i'm gonna sand the tonneau cleat holes, then dent them in a bit with a punch to give me something for the filler to grab on to... i wish i had the means to weld them, but it's just not my available means atm.. bog will have to do for now.

i don't have a welder, but i have to patch up the holes from the old tonneau cleats any way.. so another little hole will be no big deal

yep... i need to glass it first so i can calculate the weight and work out what size and length to get

does anyone know any tricks to removing dents from the tailgate of a brumby??? i have a dent(about fist size) just above the crease on the left side... apart from this one dent, the tailgate is in great condition. is it easier to try push it out from the inside, or put a self tapper, pull the dent o...

halfway there... fibreglass release agent(aka packing tape) in place and alloy frame built. http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=248&pictureid=2132 http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=248&pictureid=2133 http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=248&pictureid=2134 Temporarily fixed the...

after a bit of thinking, i've decided(for security purposes) i'm gonna do it full fibreglass instead of rubber... although i will still have a rubber surround at the cab to help seal out water..

this is where i got the idea for the fibreglass border.. http://youtu.be/VO4fM0Yg0OU althought i have decide to use rubber to cover the the majority of the lid rather than aluminium.. as i plan on using it for camping, the rubber will allow me to put stuff that is slightly tall in the tub and be con...

Ok guys.. i've always liked the sleak and stylish look of the Hard top Tonneaus you see around on the new Holden and Ford utes... so, i decided to build one.. this is the start of a progressive thread, i will post pics as the project takes shape.. the plan is to build a tubular aluminium frame out o...

not my attempt at welding... i just took it off and cleaned it with carby cleaner(was all i had laying around) i was gonna get a nyloc nut, but decided it was easy enough to do at a later date(ie, when i install the lift kit) wanted to make sure it was gonna work first. feels much nicer now... i can...

as i previous said.. the shifter fork was a mess... whoever owned it before attempted to fix it... BADLY!! http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=248&pictureid=2109 http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=248&pictureid=2108 http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=248&pictureid=2107 i wasn'...

i often post the same thread here, FB and Offroadsubarus.. it gives me varying opinions and a broader area of expertise.. even if some of that expertise often comes from the same people on all three sites.. won't mention any names Bennie. lol

i'm thinking i may have to weld up all the other holes or replace the pipe section of the fork.. i'll post a pic when i get it out...
gotta take the exhaust down, cant get any spanners/sockets on it with the exhaust bracket in the way...

eeeeew... attempted to take the fork out to cut it but it's gonna be harder than i thought.. exhaust has to come down first... and by the looks of the fork, someone had a go at it in the past and butchered it.. it looks a bit battered and nasty

that's one way to do a dual carb setup... manifold airflow disruption would be nearly none existent..

i pulled the cluster out (to have a look) i decided to buy a 2" tacho to mount to the pillar...
although i think i cleaned 25 yrs worth of dust and dirt out of the workings of the cluster.. lol

performance was probably a bad choice of words....i'm just after a manifold that will compliment the 38DGAS carby and extractors..
