What 15" rims clear 4-pots? I thought only 16s had the offset to clear?

What's the outer diameter of those tyres?

The rubber retainer was missing from the bonnet holder so I just pulled it out for dramatic effect and a laugh. The struts set me back around $200.

Mate you missed the whole 15" Audi rim on Subaru craze. Have a quick read!

Nice bonnet mod. I wonder if I could do this on a $0 budget with the L series. I do have a good pair of tailgate struts spare :)

Sorry mate, but the green struts clash with the green of your liberty.

I think that green would go much better with the blue of Ruby Scoo if you catch my drift :twisted:

Neat mod though. I've seen Nachaluva's and it looks very neat!

Cheers

Scored some GTB interior bits to match my front seats.
Image

Rear seat is cool, with fold down head rests, arm rest, built in cargo blind and a split fold seat base which mine doesn't have. Plus its got the whole faux suede fabric which is nice.
Image

JDM goodness. Mid-wing for the tail gate.
Image

Also have the rare GTB black brushed aluminum look trim pieces.

Ooh, GTB Image Someone's been spending a lot of time online lol. Where did you get them from...import monster?

Are they air vents above the handles on the door trims? Love the fold down headrests. Now you'll have to find folding mirrors lol Image

Actually in Canberra for the week and got the whole lot from a GTB turned track car for $50.

Door trim holes are for the window switches!

Thinking of doing a carbon vinyl on the wing, saves me having to paint it. Then I could do some on my mirrors too which are pretty scratched up.

Too poor for anything more than the motor from import monster ;) Looking forward to not been a student next year.

New door trims only just after you did that awesome new trim yourself on the old trims!

Thats awesome! :cool:

You can get green carbon vinyl but I would go black for contrast

He needed rear trims anyway, can either keep the fronts as spares or sell em to some lucky owner

$50 - a steal! But only if you happened to be in Canberra in the first place!

So what's not GTB now? You've already got the rear wing... where does that second one fit?

Cheers

The second one goes over the light garnish on the tailgate. Lots of things still not GTB or JDM. Some stainless scuff plates would be nice!

Not sure what I will do with the door trims. The OCD part of me prefers it to all match, but the new trim makes the whole door card look crisp and new. Originally I was aiming for leather seats so the new trims wouldn't matter. Now I have these? Might dye the GTB seats black, because the fronts are mismatched from what looks like sun fade on the passenger seat. First world problems lol.

Just installed a moustache bar bush kit and it seems to have eliminated some of this. I noticed all of my rear diff bushes are a bit cracked, so I thick the whole diff is bouncing around as the power comes on/off. Probably a combination of H6 powaz and the DCCD putting 65% power to the rear wheels plus original shitty bushes.

No idea if this is applicable to your Brumby though mate, since yours would be FWD most of the time?
