mmmm I like, Its like 4 by 4 but not. Thinking once Its all legal'd up I might have to invest in some funky decals like above

Shhh boe, no one else'd seen that eh. But seriously don't know wtf was going on in that photo.

Oh yeah. I'm also pretty stoaked at the deal I got. Dude was a real good cunt, I'll be referring him to oldschool as he claimed to have a few other cool OS mobiles, and lived in Taupo/lets all camp on his lawn next year/probably not good idea. I'm tryin to figure out at the moment if the booster and M/C off crashed red brumby are the same/similar, as that thing braked awesome (for what it was). Bonnet cable is poked also, old man reckons soak it in some diesel to loosen it up. Will keep looking for replacement. At the moment screw driver does the trick ok/ish. Can't think of much else for now, wondering what it will look like with white wheels like on the brumby + possible lowerage. Opinions/Photoshops?

Ok, so It all started one sunday morning. Was told about a Subaru GSR on trademe that I'd missed. Reserve $1. Long story short. I won it, $46. Got it home and shes pretty dang tidy. Will endevour to get wof'd up asap and definately convoy with ute to next oldschools. Now its supposed to have ea63(s?) in it, which is 1400 dualcarb which is supposed to be good for 90 odd hp, and was a real speed machine according to various sources. Instead, its been repowered sometime in its life with an ea71, 1600 single carb, unsure but probably something like 60, maybe 70 horse's at best, engine is an unknown combo at the moment tho so no idea to be honest. Got it home, whipped battery on charge and set about getting it to run. Fired up real easy with a bit of gas down its throat and seems to purr real well considering PVC system is all over the place and vaccum advance goes nowhere/assorted other little things. Brake booster and possibly master cylinder appears shagged, so here starts the terrible mission of trying to source replacements or rebuilds. Any ideas anyone? Steering rack seems possibly a little suspect, but I'll leave that up to the WOF inspector. Plans? Get wof, get reliable, pull plows, Uh I mean hoes. pictures! Werd.

Ahk, sweet as, kinda wondered about the use of two gigantor merc guards...

Serious? Could be able to sort summat out.

5' monster tacho? 5k shift light too? I kid I kid Hows the rx going...?

Nah boes. They still just sittin in shed. Anyone know of anyone that wants em?

Oh boe.!11 Just got your pm. I can look at it. Oh snap, time for me to go out. Will be motorbiking tomorrow, text, can go look on way home or something.

Cost about $25 to get a key or two cut to a lock. Worked sweet. Great value.

They do? Whys that? Yeah link g3's are the man. Only gay thing - they only have 2 injector drives still.... so you have to run the injectors in pairs. Its prehistoric technolody these days and the computer would be competitive with the big guys if it had one. I think they do it just so people still opt for the Link Plus for the big jobs. I work at holden and theres just a general tendancey to hate vectras astras and pretty much any holden actually to be honest. But yeah they're probably all 'g' once out of the vectra poo's and has new engine management. I like the project anyway, choice little car. rofls.. you work at Holden and theres a general tendancy to hate all Holdens? Thats awesome, and completely understandable. I would never own a Holden or anything built by them to be honest I did alot of research on this engine before I opted for it. Granted its not as reliable as some japanese engines (for example) may be, but I don't think its too bad. Most of the problems seem to stem from the discusting factory engine management system, as you mentioned. This is still in the Vectra so I should be sweet Don't worry. Holden are slowly moving away from the euro stuff anyway. And the Austrailian stuff too. Korea is where its at boe..

Those vectra engines scare me.

Here are a few more destruction pictures of the red one. "straightened" the front today. Which consisted of a wire rope, a power pole, and 4wd reverse burnouts. pictures etc... Remainders of numberplate. old fan chewn radiator.. Bumper did that.. Hae look! Still drives mostly straight. Kinda cool considering I'm pretty sure the front end moved about 100mm to the left.

So I got another one.. Slightly newer... rusty, which sucks cause now that I've gotten it going. Its not too bad. Best eighties paint scheme ever also That rust goes all the way through. brakes overheated or some shit on the way home, rear drum locked up, mate just thought i was being a dick so kept towing, 'moked up down the road for 'bout 150metres. Runs now, seems to go well, will be good convoy adventure-mobile with the red and silver ones.

That extreme current draw is a worry... Got any oil in it?

So I uhh.. Drove it into a wall And am selling the Rx next week. roll on a DD and piling money into the ole beigy!

I hear ya. Moneyless weekends miles from civilization ftl

A tractor? It was fun...

paintwork looked like this this morning really really rugged, matt as, colour would rub off on people and absorb dirt. $30 at supercheap auto and a few hours later. I was thinkin about pullin the front bumper at the same time, going bumperless. but the cunt who had it before me welded the bumper to the rusted subframe. so rugged....

Looking awesome mate. Any more plans for it? looking pretty well completely nearly?

Update. I just brought another one! http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a28/waimaks/Brat/Other%201st%20gen%20brumby/?action=view&current=P1030052.flv Discussion please
