After many years ,two body shells, nine engines, eight gearboxes and a world of fun the Wonderbrumby is going up for sale.
Need another wagon due to kids.
Simple.
Will be available for sale in about a month for around the $6,000 mark.
Groover has expressed his extreme displeasure.
She is a 1989 model,
no rust
Gen1 EJ22
dual range AWD
2" lift
15" wheels with 6 studs
rear disc brakes
heavy duty springs front and rear
alloy bullbar
alloy skidplate
steel rear bumper
3" roll bar
Sports dash with tach
CD player and UHF
I am building up a 1985 MY wagon.
From the start again.

Sounds like a nice Brumby but you might want to change your signature

haha.. yeah no probs. I'm sure it's all good I just had a little chuckle when I saw it
Best of luck with the sale. Not too many good Brumbys left so you shouldn't have any troubles selling it

Its all done for the next guy to step into. It is reliable, got heaps of poke and handles like a big go cart.
I am sad.
Groover is ropeable.

'Tis the end of an era! Sorry to hear she must go
Maidens will lament the loss and bards will sing of the mighty Wonder Brumby for generations to come. Cranbrook folklaw has not escaped unscathed by the stars of pleiades.
Many a late night, scun knuckle and head scratching has been devoted to each iteration of this beast, and what a journey it has been.
May she go to a good home.
And in all seriousness, get a Liberty. You'll not regret it.
Groover also supports this decision...

And where on the high seas are you midshipmen Sir Will?

Not nearly as far away as I could have been. Will get all philosophical some other time but suffice to say I wasn't quite prepared to give up my life for someone else’s dream.
Though the brief experience was well worth it.
Thus I should like to be present at your little gathering, should it still be going ahead.

It had to be right to happen.
Wise call.
Yes indeed you shall be there.

It will be a sad day to see Wonder Brumby II go mate! What ever happened to the Supercharger and gas? Or did that all go with the original Wonder Brumby? And you will be pleased to know that Wonder Brumby I is still alive and kicking with it dual port heads still screaming on my Brumby, lol! Even after all the years of abuse! :P

Matt... i thought you were going to take that car to your grave! or at least groover was!
It will be sad to see it go, but the new project sounds like you will have your work cut out for you for a while!
good luck with it!

It will be sad, but I am quite excited about a Sky blue wagon with lift and diesel goodness.
I am driving at a very grown up speed and am prepared to give up some handling prowess.
This will be the vehicle the family takes camping and is important that its capable off road.
Hey it was fun.

Will and Jonny I was always secretly in lust with the Biege Bomber and Monsterwagon.
And get this...I am toying with an auto and paddles on the wheel.
I am getting old.
Or sick of clutches.

hehe nothing wrong with a beige wagon!
if you do go auto... get the motor and wiring that goes with the box.... not so fun making all the clever bits work on an old ecu
