Carl is one shrewd dude. ' bet he can see the value sky rocket anytime soon. Only wish he had some sway with the model makers to produce a Gen2 Brumby kit, mit bullbar and canopy options in the box :)

LOL.
one of the apprentices at work spotted it while jogging, He was thinking of buying it to launch his boat but decided he didn't realy need another car. So I pounced on it.
It has had the canopy on it all its life and the tray is in amazing condition.
Needs new struts for the canopy, which I have already ordered of ebay <$30 delivered.
Bloke I got it from had it fro 4 years, he put new brake discs and pads, new windscreen and seal, changed oil + filter every 5,000ks.
New CV boots.
Owner before him has a mecanical buisness here in Coffs.
She has done 275,000ks, runs quiet, he said it does use a bit of oil but nothing to be concerned about.
Has some small dints, I have noticed rust in 3 spots but will be able to blast that easily.
Paint could do with a buff and the oil pump is weaping a little oil.
14" wheels and tyres.
Am gunna drive it for a while then probaly sell it after I have fixed a few things.

Yep very jealous! I've got some brumbyitis but I haven't found any means to remedy it yet... even though there's one in the family!

Cheers

PS: Just noticed that the pin stripes are the same style as what Sunnie the Brumby's got:

Have put a master cylinder kit and an oil pump kit in this one.
Gave it a buff
New gas struts for the canopy
Oil change
coolant change
it had some rust around two of the tarp lugs, I have blasted the rust and am painting the area but neglected to take any photos
Now the master cylinder had been leking for quite some time and rusted the chasie rail.
EWW nasty !

OK so out with the blast pot.
There are a couple of spots i missed but got them after the photo was taken.It is very important to remove all the rust traces or it will come back.
