Hey Guys, Been a little while since I have posted anything, but I finally did a couple upgrades to the Brat today! With some help from my brother on the weekend Rodeo4jake. Installed a roll bar from a lovely fella who shipped it down to me in Melbourne from Coffs Harbor and the shipping was a reason...

Yeah, I thought so!

Hey mate, yeah my one kicks in just after half way.

Thought this might be of interest to some! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subaru-Other-GL-1983-subaru-gl-convertible-rare-collector-car-great-conditon-runs-great-/290957135481?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item43be658e79&vxp=mtr#v4-42 Wouldn't mind some of these for my Brat http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-...

i have the opportunity to pick up a Gen 1 brumby. how hard are parts to come by? tailgate looks a bit rough. i would love to do the Yanks quad light setup but cant seem to find any bits for sale anywhere. where these available in Japan at all? what where they called over there? is there parts over ...

TAFE night courses in MIG welding won't teach you how to weld panel steel, they concentrate on structural steel (12mm down to 3mm) plate. That looks like an excellent trip, can't wait to do something like this when my car is finished :) Thanks for posting pics. Yeah it was a good trip. When my brot...

The trick with panels is low amps, stich welding. Go slow so the heat doesnt build up & cause distortion

Cheers for the tip! Although I don't think my brother is going to let me have a go at welding a guard on his Brumby. He'd never let me live it down if I stuffed it up hahaha

Thats not correct, an LSD will not allow one wheel to spin freely, think of the name...Limited Slip Diff: limited slip The torque will be split between the wheels, depending on the type of LSD & its condition, as stated above. Well my brother has a brand new SR5 hilux and on the weekend we turned a...

That's my old LPG filler cap. The Brumby had gas when I got it,Long gone now . I'm hoping to pull that out & weld up the hole one day.

Want me to go and take a welding course so I can do it for ya?

Thanks for sharing such a great trip away! Excellent pictures too! Can't beat a good old Subaru road trip through the mountains :) The best part is seeing the expressions on people's faces 'Did that car really get through there?' Obviously they are oblivious to the might of the mighty Subaru :D Yea...

Well the second generation L series was produced from 1979-1989. The later more squarer model was produced from 1984-1994.

Here you can read all about it.

No. When you a driving along with the lever engaged it is split 50/50. When you climb a steep uneven terrain hill you will find that the rear wheels act like a limited slip diff. If you get stuck in the mud, the only wheels spinning will be the ones with the least amount resistance if there is enoug...

Hey mate. From the looks of it that nudge bar would fit an L series. But it should also fit your brumby. I have seen lots of brumbys with the same bull bar/nudge bar. Wouldn't have thought that Subaru would have made 2 or 3 different bull bars at the time.

Hi Boca, From what I have found, the rear is limited slip. And the power seems to go to the wheel with the least resistance when you are stuck in the mud. I think when the lever is in place the power is split 50/50 on a brumby, well that's what it seems like when you are using it. Hope this helps. j...

Yeah that looks unreal! good find there.

When I was younger some friends had 1000 acres of land near Colac. My paddock basher was a Mazda Capella. I also had a Sigma wagon. The Capella lasted a lot longer!

Yes, what Rodeo4jake said. It is a really muddy place to go in winter. And my Brumby is still a little sick after the long weekend. hahaha

Yeah! I saw a set of white rims on ebay for 0.99c starting auction. Reckon we might need those and long range tanks!
