Looks straighter than mine Good luck with this one guys.

Yeah sweet, another Targa Top!

I'd love to stick sunnie in the line up to keep you busy boys but unfortunately at this point in time its not going to happen... Plus we'd probabily want him to still be white...

Can't wait to see the build pics of this baby, what's being added -

- Power windows
- Central locking
- EJ???

I'll be watching this build too.

Cheers

Bennie

Yipee My brumby has pics on the net.
Geez you boys are keen, thought you might take a little rest. But it works for me if your keen to soldier on.

Info for all - The Boys are going to take care of the body work and make her look pretty again and then minus engine gearbox & diff she comes back to brizzy to have a V5 STI transplant dropped in.
The frontcut is waiting at a mates place while she gets her SUBIE BOYS treatment, Im not in any rush, Im just keen to have it neat and rust free.

Watch This Space

Cheers folks Chridk

The brumby is slowly coming apart.

Part of the reason for it being slow is all bolts get there own container .

Awesome! I'll keep an eye on this for sure. Depending on the donor's condition I'll end up pulling it to bits to some extent. It'll be good to see what the guts are like before I do it myself!

Of course this will be a difficult build for the rest of us to live up to! You guys make the rest of us look like monkeys with tools!

These guys don't know how to take it easy. They can drink a coffee with one hand & pull the car apart with the other. I'm sure if they stopped they'd go stagnant.
At least if they are in the shed working on a car I'm not hearing "I'm bored what can we do?

Oh wow... (damn I wanna one as well! - more I look at Brumby, the more I want one!!! gRr). that would be a interesting great project.. keep flowing..

Is that a job that you're doing or its a part time job restoring Subarus? or as a hobby?

Fair enough about nut & bolts in its own container! thats being well organised.

What are your plans with it?

Good Luck and keep us updated!

The idea of doing the cars for free labor as we are on a pension each. We are getting paid so why should we get paid again by charging people.

Rick and i spent some time on it today and now it is getting on it's way to being empty.

lovey80 · Post by **lovey80** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 7:52 pm

On first look it seems a much better starting base than the last one. Is there a older subaru around that hasnt had an engine bay coated in oil?

I'm sure this will be another great thread!

Cheers

There's quite a bit of room in that engine bay! That's good news!
