Well.. it appears that I have found my new runabout.. It's a very rust free bodied 1990 Brumby :cool: It did take a little patience and a nasty mistake to find what I've been looking for :) She is missing her tailgate, RH tail light and RH bumperette but other than that it's all good :p

I will post up some pictures tomorrow.. was very late when we got back to the workshop :( but a big THANKS to Davo for helping me pick her up today.. Legend :mrgreen:

edit: Opps almost forgot.. (remembered at 3am this morning) a HUGE THANKS to guyph for looking in the Quokka for me :)

I'm thinking it probably will be until the L is back on the road.. I'm not looking to lift it, as I'll have the L for that.. RSR Brat will just be a parts runner :cool:
