Don't worry, you didnt miss anything. Someone had taken the sunroof & the interior was left open to the elements...totally stuffed

Congrats on the Lib

PAP Kilsyth 26-10:
Couple of standard Liberty's
Outback
98 Forester
Early Impreza
1982 MY wagon in fairly good condition - almost no rust in the usual spots (bottom of A pillars, rear door, etc). Driver's side door NG but other panels looked ok. Unfortunately no slanted console. It does have the intermittant wiper set up still fitted if anyone wants to upgrade their Brumby...

I'm keen to know if it's still there and if so, how many k's, dual range manual?

Chasing one of these boxes

If you go to Jollies I could give you a hand as well as have a look at that engine there

Pity you don't need an auto box from one (98 Foz), as I have one I don't need...
Kilsyth PAP manual gearbox price is $80.50 (though it does say "with diff FWD = $172.50").

Nah, not after the auto... Don't know if I'll ever get to an auto for offroading. Love the manual too much!

Last time I purchased a subaru gearbox from PAP it was $250 as it seems to fall into the 4wd gearbox category from memory. This was a long time ago now, I do remember being able to slip a subi box through for $125 when they didn't know what they were...

Nachaluva, it'd be good to have some company, dunno when I'll be available - got a lot on for the rest of this month Maybe early December?

There's a 90 Brumby at PAP Kilsyth, I just had a look and picked up the tailgate. Everything is there except the stereo part of the lower dash - doors look pretty good, has A/C, quad headlights, full alloy front bar (slight dent in the bottom middle section). Has a canopy fitted, but the stainless around the bed is all there - not great nick though (the bit above the tailgate was gone). The red MY wagon is gone, everything else is just regular Liberty/Outback/ Forester/Impreza. The WRX is still there, but nothing I could see worth grabbing (turbo stuff all gone, front 4 pots gone).

has anyone had a look at the big wreckers South of Grafton? drove past there yesterday and looked like a huge amount of cars

Grafton, NSW ? Wrong state for this sub-forum.

Imlach's has changed. Now need to have your driver's licence scanned and leave your drivers licence IF you want to use a trolley.

There's an '82 four door leone auto there. I scored the 6 gauge cluster from it (and matching wiring/oil pressure unit). On the back seat I left the slanted console with the original radio in it if anyone is keen. It's grey in colour. I didn't have the inclination to buy it to sell on. And I wasn't the one that smashed up the instrument cluster surround, otherwise I'd have that as well!

There's also a rusted well abused brumby there too, not much left of it other than the stock gearbox.

I think from memory there were three L series there. One was definitely a series one touring wagon. I should've looked at the diff ratio but forgot

I was after GenII bits from the dual range manual - the ones there were all bloody autos. Seemed like there was quite a number of GenIII's there, a few outbacks too. I remember seeing at least one Gen4.

Campbellfield had slim pickings - a lot of GenI's...
Kilsyth didn't have much in the way I wanted again. The brumby there was in better condition body wise but well stripped. Block and gearbox still there as were the quad lights. I'm now sort of regretting not getting the RED driver's door... will have to see what happens with my current one (it's not liking its window atm )

Quite a number of Imprezas rocking up from various gen's.

I didn't get to Jolly's but will have to check it out next time if they've got what I want, that's primarily why I didn't go there...

Hey Bennie, what was the front bumper like on the '82 sedan?

One nice big ding on the LHS from memory. A little rust too. Rear one was no better

Cheers

I've got a chrome 82 front bumper (no end caps) if you need it, it has a smallish dent that could be knocked out by a half-decent panelbeater (would need to be re-chromed though).

Thanks dfoyl, I would have grabbed the one under discussion if it was in good nick but I really am chasing a all rubber 2wd version.

What's the difference between a 2wd and 4wd bumper? No over-riders ? I assume an all-rubber 2wd would be a tough one to find, only from an 1983 sedan or coupe (or base 2wd wagon, which would be even tougher).

I grabbed the slanted console today, along with the AC switch from the Brumby dash (going to use it for a light bar switch). I forgot to check the sedan for the wiper rotary switch, as these are perfect for Brumby's being upgraded to intermittent wipers (doesn't have the additional switch for the rear wiper like on the wagon, which is much more common)...

Dfoyl, re the intermittent wiper switch.........
Don't forget the wiper relay can of brains, if you go back for it!!
Sits back deep behind the fuse box

Yep, I know the bits needed - but those I can get from any MY wagon, it's the rotary switch off the sedan that is the tough part to find. I have one on mine, but always good to get a spare.

Kilsyth PAP has a blue MY wagon, which I have removed the PS from. The (front) grille and air filter box has gone during the week but everything else is still there that I can see.
