Hey guys, i know the other thread has been going but its a bit hit and miss and all that crap so i though ti would start up a proper my car thread for it.


pictures speak a thousand words, so ill keep the info brief and let the pictures do most of the talking i spose.


1984 brumby. old ****d. but very minimal rust and best of all licenced.
Full conversion

FULL wiring harnes
FULL dash
Centre console
Seats
Engine
Gearbox
Rear diff
Front struts (coil overs shortly)
Front brakes

davo

now that's more like it!
Awesome

Great job mate,

That will look great when finished.

P.s love the "brick" hand brake system:)

Looking good Dave.
Do you know what year / model WRX them seats are from?
Same as I have in my car but they were in it when I got it.

Gonna run a WAIC eventually or a scoop?

ooo yeh pics ftw. its lookin good dave, cant wait till its all 100%

Nice work, very impressed with dash swap, looking forward to seeing it completed, should be awesome!
Cheers, Mark

yeh waic is in the tray. just need the radiator...

as far as i know corrie, the seats are out of a 2door sti. caus the door cards i have from the gc8 are DEFINETLY 2door sti stuff, and the cards match the seats.

thanks guys
long time comming at it will be sweeeeeet when its done


davo

I'm starting to itch again

Good stuff dave! I'm keen to know how you're going to run the heater box stuff with the WRX dash AND how you've got it to fit, I'd like to see the process if you could show it with some pics and maybe a small description.

Brumby's are HOT, especially when they're running the later 5 stud mags before you even look at a turbo EJ under the bonnet. I'd love to do something like this mate, but its time an money I don't have, plus I'm still finishing off Ruby Scoo. Maybe you could get plates that say something like NVMYUTE

Cheers

Bennie

davo

thanks Dave (D3V1L) I will admit to driving down the beach in a brumby at White Hills which Im pretty sure started the WA brumby frenzy

glad to see another brumby save from the paddock

TOONGA

Thanks Dave

Glad that it's all coming together as planned. Just hope we can get the rear brakes sorted shortly and can't wait to see it painted

well i got kind of upset this afternoon when trying to install my stereo

the amps kept shutting off when i started the motor and it was doin my head in.

have discovered the alternator is charging at 16.1 volts

as im now completely out of money time and patience it has to wait for a while to get replaced,

just wondering if its got something to do with the fact its off an ej22? It was known to be working fine when i removed it(ie didnt fry anything on the original car)

then again the regulator could be stuffed. Anyone had any experences with this? Im curious, i know all the alternators are pretty similar apart from the plugs.

its stuffed or its wired in wrong. check the wiring first
