hehehe only on this forum would a 1980's Ute be called Classy

Bloody fantastic find Jay, these photos look even better than the ones Alex took when it was in the caryard. Especially now that roo-bar is gone.
Can't wait to find out about these secret mods.

yeah, the exhaust makes it sound like a wrx... just for shits and giggles i gave it a bit going past a fully sick commodore, just jabbed the gas in 1st... he being a typical young commodore driver gave me the desired response and fish taled down the road like a hero, all coz of a 21 year old EA81 carby engine with an exhaust:) i like it

welded rear diff will be first mod on the cards coz its the cheapest:)

does have minimal rust in the doors and the tray but its had a going over some time during its life coz its got pearl paint.

if i can be assed ill fix it, we'll see one day

i am soooo envious i want a targa sooo bad my bros mate has one that im lifting in the new year i keep getting these "swap it swap it" thoughts in my head even though mine is in betta condition. good luck with it man u will have a ball with it i know i do

vidler · Post by **vidler** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 6:12 pm

the wrx is sold now so brumby is only priority apart from saving for holiday in june. after that i will be playing with it big time. first on cards is lift, tyres and bull bar:)

vidler · Post by **vidler** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 7:56 pm

got some more checkerplate on the brumby:) just preparing the rear discs to go on, needed some new backing plates coz the old ones were all damaged and bent up, this is the result:)
