Mystery Brumby interior

Post by Backyard_Brumby » Tue Apr 23, 2013 10:44 pm

Hey Everyone,

I need to draw on the vast knowledge we have on here.

I was trawling ebay for brumby parts and saw a targa top for sale. It had this centre console set up I have never seen before. Does anyone know what it is from as I am looking at custom interior options at the moment however would much prefer to just adapt from another model.

No mystery here, that's from a touring wagon with power windows ( or any series II Leone for that matter ) of similar vintage to the Brumby ... :)

P.S. - The seats look like there from a Forester ?

I saw that one for sale, they are Suzuki swift GTI seats from 89 model. The console looks like L Series or maybe Liberty. The door trims have had the lower half custom made & have speaker pods I've seen for sale at J.b. hi fi.
Does look impressive as a complete package.

Cheers Jake

Yeah, seen same console in a Brumby with Foz seats...notice no mechanical winda winda ?

Those GTi seats look so comfy. Swift GTi are rare as hens tooths today aren't they?
Note the 4WD knob on the gear shift and missing 4WD select lever ...AWD ?

No?? tambox says to use the slider at the bottom of my screen :D :D

Brilliant, always handy having people on here to ask :).

We were looking at doing a custom made interior for the brumby project but with a second paint job the budget has been blown. Just looking to see what options we have to have an armrest, plus we have electric window winders set up so needed somewhere to put the switch ;).

If anyone happens to see or know of the armrest section of the centre console a link would be greatly appreciated .

Forester seats with the built in arm rest? I find they're actually in a more suitable spot for resting the arm than a center console, especially suby center consoles which tend to be pretty low down.

I am pretty sure I have a spare of the armrest section, but you need the rest of the setup - it doesn't clip to a standard MY Brumby console as far as I recall.

Yeah that's the 4wd selector - had the good old L series 5 speed job done :twisted: I don't like the boot they've put around it though!

I totally agree with this! Since having to put the stock seats back in Ruby Scoo I've found that the foz seats I've got are no higher than the stock ones - but with the foz seats and the arm rest I can't open the MY centre console...

Cheers
