hi all

new to this sight and owning a subaru,,
picked up a lil 90 modle brumby the other week for $250.,bit rough around the edges,needed a new battery and clamps,just grabed a spare battary and clamps from work,pulled the starter out and gave a bit of a clean up as was not throwing out but is now good as new.
it is pretty straight on the left hand side but the tail gate is stuffed and the right hand front guard has seen better days,same as the right door,
found another ute just around the corner,which is all pretty straight including the tail gate and door :lol:,it was takin off the road cause it had a bit of a tingle on the right had front end/strut area and could not afford to get it fixed so it just sat in his yard till i seen it and picked it up for $150 bucks,have allready swapped over the tail gate and am in the prosses of swapping over the door,then i just need to find a r/h/f guard as they are not really in the best shape,but apart from that the outside will be all done.
now the drivers seat is collapsed as alot of them are i have been told,i have also been told the passanger seat bolts in in it's place is this true ??
as both drivers seat are buggerd i was going to put the other passanger seat in.
also the gear shift is pretty flogged out from a hard life but the one in the spare parts ute is really good,is there bushes i could swap over or do i have to swapp the box out??
any way i have gone on enough for now thanks in advance john,,,:cool:

can still buy shift bush at bottom of shifter sits in bit on box and new roll pin kit new from Subaru parts cheap as

Never tried left to right in seats. many seats are angled so if you do left to right angles you different and uncomfy and seat controls see the centre console. KF laser seats fit with just one hole elongated so long as you can have fat seat backs take up valuable long leg space

seats will swap across ok, will need to swap rails side to side and these phillips screws are tight, use a impact driver. dont know if there is room for seat incline adjuster which will end up near centre console tho
