MY first car, MY first subaru, on MY L's...


was driving along side a hill in the rain crabing along untill i sliped straight down into the creek. F***!





Fixed it in two weeks Subawreck had the same panels same pin stripe $450 latter front door, rear door, bumper, light, and a few others

this wagon had everything 1984 with A/C spotties, roofracks, sunroof, towbar, tinted windows, 32/36 weber, dual range 140,000km on the clock, best one ive ever seen
I WANT IT BACK...



will post up some picks of my new brumby, 3" lift kit and 27" tyers sitting next to it just got to get them on there, oh and some monster spotties ha

why'd you sell it?

Whats happening Kai?

its Tim from haven. good to see you've got another subie mate, where abouts did ya get it from

out north from a yard but they had it for a one day and I spotted it out the back, got it cheap, but the owner that sold it to the yard was from Victor Harbour, but hows your brumby going got the ej22 in yet, by the way got any parts for sale, still got a lot of work to do to mine, im trying to get a 32/36 on, without much luck...







P.S its got to be raining all week yeehar...

It looks good mate, i reckon their the same stickers as on mine too!!

are you after a webber or have you already got one, cause ive got my old one if your after one. any other parts you might need just ask, ive got a few things lying around the place.

and the EJ is almost done, going to pick it up tomorrow with a new exhaust so should be drivable then, im sure ive got more finishing touches to go yet, but almost there.


Cheers Tim

ive got a webber already just need everything else adaptor, linkage, ect, plus im not that sure on how to do it but dosent look hard. im also after shocks and springs but most likely will buy those new, you wouldnt happen to have a spare bull bar, have you still got your rx i could be interested...

well ive got my complete webber setup, adapter + carby + filter, all good to go, i'd only want to sell it all together though. its pretty easy to fit it all up.

i could possibly sell the bullbar thats on my old wagon, but cant really be bothered with that at the moment.

as for the other bits, i've got some heavy duty front springs, and some strut inserts which i didnt hve in the car for that long but are in good nic. ive probably got some standard rears laying around the place too.

the RX will be up for sale seriosly as soon as the brumby is all good.

and the brumby is going now as of last week. still need to play around with it to make sure its reliable etc. but the power is sweet compared to the old motor.

Cheers Tim

yer im keen on the springs and struts how much ya after, how much ya after for the adapter + carby + filter might think about it cos i keep hearing that ya need a diff adaptor for late moble manifolds(did you adaptor come of your 82 wagon), bull bar would be nice, what ever you can do would be good...

im keen on the rx for a daily driver, and just going to make the brumby a thrasther, might give the lift kit a go to one day, by the way are you down are hood at all these days, sounds like your brumbys a bit off its face

thanks kai

yeah ive been coming back a bit, usually every two weeks or something. do you have my number at all, if you do, send me a message so ive got your number, i cant remember where i put yours i had it written down somewhere.

i'll try catch up with ya next time im down and free.

as for the parts, maybe 150 - 200 for the springs and struts and 100 or so for the webber gear.

the adapter was on my 82 wagon, but i had the webber on the brumby which is a 91 for a while until i did the engine conversion.

the brumbys is coming along nicely too, cantwait till its all going sweet.


Cheers Tim

i sent you a message not sure if it was the right number

Well i didnt get anything so it must have been wrong, ill send you a Personal Message on this site with it.


Cheers Tim

Geez Brumbi

That's a sweet looking rig.

I've copied the pics for my "when I get the brass this's what I'll do" folder

Do you get a good result out of the webber? And how does it handle on the road with the lift kit as opposed to before you lifted it?

Look great.

i havent driven it much yet just up and down the street as i dont get my licence back for a month, the car has been off the road for 11 months and thats how ive had the time to do it, the webber is a great upgrade if you can get one cheap and real easy to install, the lift kit is the same and although i havent driven it much i would say it would handle not to bad...

BTW dose anyone have some hady tips on how to cut the gaurds?

thanks

Hey Mate

where abouts did ya go with them?



Cheers Tim

goolwa beach down to the mouth and on the way back between goolwa and medows we went to coles crossing, i thought coles crossing was a good place had the wheels of the ground enough to walk under the car (top pic) would be good after some rain, went up there for a night run last friday, i reckon theres more track in there might have to go exploring...
