Saw a Vortex today but unfortunately it was driving past and I did not have time for even a Phone Photo with something I have never seen before a Rear Window spoiler at the top of the rear window looked really neat, I wonder if it was a genuine option as I have never heard of one.

Better off doing what I did and strip the whole front harness from the engine bay to the dash only takes half an hour and then all you need is the correct Fuel gauge sender for the low fuel warning light as well as the Oil pressure sender.

Gee Paul by the time Steptoe fitted and removed the engine twenty eight times just to have an EA 82 Turbo in a Brumby he could have done 2 EJ conversions or built a reliable EA81 Turbo from scratch using some of those EA82 Turbo bits and all with less hassle!!

My experience with resleeving is people who once did it do not even admit to having done it these days. If the cylinder is OK kits are available and I use a Dremel with a polishing mop to polish the inside of the cylinder because you cannot hone an alloy cylinder it is the wrong finish, but a polish...

Spent the weekend cutting out rust and making new sections around the blanking plates where the rear foglights fit in some markets, came out perfect and needed minimal work to finish, Then again I have been doing that sort of stuff for years and have a folder, Mig and 3 Tigs which helps.

Apparently one of the Nissan or Isuzu throw-out bearings fits the bill, when using an EA 82 Clutch Plate with an EA 81 Flywheel, probably something along the lines of early Navara or maybe even Nissan 720 Ute and likely Early Rodeo in Australia or Frontera as I believe that is what they call a Troop...

MY wagon had 410,000 and the 89 Brumby has 332,000 on the dash but because I swapped out the Sports dash you can add another 87,000 to that so it is 419,000 and I want to hit 500,000 at least on the bodyshell as the Twin Carb will be in before then.

Giles look into a new wiring harness upgrade at the same time lose one volt at the lights due to voltage drop and lose about twenty percent light output,Only problem is working out how to work around Subaru's switched earth constant power original headlight wiring setup.
Well worth the effort though
