G'day again Subiefiles, Long time no post so a quick update. Sorry for the delay Willy but here are a couple of fairly useless pics to show how I rigged the throttles. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q218/Pogachini/DSC_0066_1.jpg And http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q218/Pogachini/DSC_0067.jpg ...

I saw that brumby for sale, looked awesome. Would lurrrve a gen 1. Actually thinking about picking up a 90s one for sale at the moment with an ej conversion in mind. I just really want a good body brumby, I have all the mechanicals and parts to fix almost anything but mine is a bit rough and ready b...

Long time no see AuSubaru! Soooo update on my ute. So first of all, gave up on the sound system upgrade. Just couldn't be stuffed in the end. Had a re look at the exhaust. I have been mucking around with the exhaust for ages so in the end decided to run with a 2.5 inch zorst with cat and 2 hot dogs ...

On the look out to buy a stock front bumper for my 92 brumb.

Cheers thanks

Quick question, will an L series radiator fit into a brumby ute without modification? Or limited mods. Are they the same?

Cheers

Thanks for the info. I have a reasonable idea what I want to do. I have some 6x9s to build into the forward doors, some 4inch for the oem slots and an amp to power it all. Just trying to get my head around how to fit the head unit or more specifically which one will fit without spacers. I don't need...

Been ages since an update. So a few little and big things completed over the last few months. Replaced the tail shaft uni joints (they rattle and chatter as the rpm increases in my case). Also picked up a used 4speed and plonked it in. My reverse was stuffed. While I was there relaced the clutch and...

Interested in a 4 speed gearbox, PM sent.

Thanks Bennie, The picks... With it all out of the way and ready to go... http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q218/Pogachini/20140102_135922.jpg The interim result. I'm not overly proud of the throttle cable set up but it does the job and cost nothing so can't argue. http://i137.photobucket.com/album...

So the silly season persisted for longer than anticipated.... However the weber carby is now on as is the exhaust. The exhaust actually didn't quite fit though it came off an another brumby (?? Older version?) so took it to the local pipe benders and got them to instal it for me. I also modded the e...

wellllll i know i said 'sit back and enjoy it' but what I really meant was 'get back in the garage and work on it' (it is a hobby) so, got a new exhaust sourced, it's in the garage and cleaned up ready for it's installation (I'm told it's not toooo loud thankfully just the suby rumble) and purchased...

Thanks for the reply there. Ended up finding the problem and yeh it was the cv. Specifically not having a circlip thanks to useless assembly. But all solved now and its running great. In the interm I replaced the front strut assembly, put new rims and tyres on her, improved the radiator set up, stri...

Alrighty I've hit a wall. There is a very Prominate cv style knock still coming from the front right. Happens only under load, sometimes straight ahead but always turning. It's quite loud. I've changed the struts, bearings, drive shafts and brakes. I just can't figure it out. All I can think is the ...

Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it.

No the wreckers don't have them unfortunately.

In the meantime going to put in new rubber seals for the windscreen and finish off the new wheels. Will post a pic for review when finished

Interesting about the struts. I pulled them out and look whats on the top. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q218/Pogachini/Mobile%20Uploads/20131204_144114.jpg What is it??? Botch job... After cutting it off It doesnt look good inside. I think I'm going to replace the whole assembly though the spr...

Certainly, here she is. Looks good from the outside. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q218/Pogachini/20131129_091213.jpg Turns out since I bought it there is a LOT more work than anticipated so have gotten into it over the last week. All the obvious filters and fluids but also went about installin...

Hey guys,

Just bought a Brumby and starting the long task of restoring her to her former glory, as it has seen better days.
I've been a long time forum stalker and thought I'd finally join in the conversation. Thanks for having me and I'm sure I'll be pestering with questions shortly
