Yes it is a aussie car photos of it has been posted on here before. you can buy the car right now if you want. Aus $29,950. http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.private_vehicle?vehicle_id=2676028&current_rec=3&used_rec=1&total_rec=13&sort_type=&total_rec=13&sort_type=&make_id=14&model_id=212&state_id=-1&search_distance=25 And yes you would have to sell your house or at least one of your kids to buy it.

have a look here its a vortex with a 3 inch lift. http://www.thebackyardboys.com/ is this the kind of thing you was after?

4 Arm you come on down our way and bring a few sets of Peugoet 14" & 15" mag wheels with you and Im sure we can help you find a few bits and peices down here. Cheers Wombat

Take the price of a new timing belt and compare it with the price of an engine rebuild. Then ask yourself which one you would rather pay.

Well done guys. I am still thinking about doing the swap to my 89 Brumby and this will help along the way and for me to make up my mind. If there was photos that would help even more. Keep up the good work. Cheers Wombat

Did they ever make this model in 1998 as I have a Liberty sedan(Australia) and would like to put the Outbacks front bumper and foglights on to it. Anyone know if this is possible??

Welcome Lurch form another Ozzie subaru owner. (98 Liberty 89 Brumby). Cheers Wombat.

Yeah they look like the 15's that why I brought them. I had been on here looking at the different wheels that I might fit on to my Brumby and I saw thses type ones I just didnt know about the Inch and metric thing. I rang a few tyre places and they said not much chance of getting the metric tyres and if I did find some to expect to pay Aus $300-400 per tyre.

Well dont I feel stupid they are 390mm not the 15 inch ones. If only I had a bit better read of these forums. I didnt even know they made a wheel in Metric measurements. I am trying to see if I can get my money back for these.

Matty B: I would love to have a good look at this swap you have done. It sounds like just the thing I need for traveling up and down the west coast of Tassie. Do you have any photos or drawings with measurements of the custom engine mounts? could you give me a rough idea of what it cost you all up in Dollars? Cheers Troy "Wombat" Philpott.

I just picked up a set(5) of these mags from a wreckers for $100 Australian ($74 US) They need abit of a clean up but once I had seen some of the photos of other cars on here with them I just knew I had to buy them. once I get them cleaned up I will post a photo. They are to go on my 89 Brumby(Brat). I wonder what they would look like as black on a white car?

Im only a noobie but even I know that was an accident waiting to happen. Glad you wasnt hurt. Sad to see your car suffer though.

I really like those wheels I would love to find something like that down here. Good luck with the lug nuts.

Go down to your local tyre/wheel shop and show them what you want then get them to order a set of new wheels lugs. Im sure that if I went into a local shop I could get something like them. (I am In Australia also). If you get stuck let me know and I will see what I can do for you down this way.

I would love to come on the trip but am restricted by a few things. At work all the holidays have been booked and I wont have any time off till April (other than my rostered days off). My Brumby only has road tyres on it and I dont thing they would get me very far along some of the tracks you are talking about. (Im a ex-west coast boy so I know of a few of the tracks you guys want to go on). Maybe when you set some dates I might be able to meet up with you's in Zeehan. You should have a look at the old spray tunnel while you are passing through. Email me at Wombat_racing@hotmail.com and I may have a few track reports or other info for you's. I would have posted this on Ausubaru but cannot access it. I have a password and all but it wont let me sign in. Cheers Wombat

I will get some photos for you and figure out how to post them up on here. I dont like the bullbar on my Brumby (it looks like a bed frame) and will be looking to make up something different once I can. Cheers Wombat

being a new Brumby/Brat owner and wanting to do a wheel conversion makes this all very interesting to me. I to would like to change my wheels but would need it to be a legal modification so that i can keep insuranced. I dont know what the legalitys are for just redrilling the hubs down here in Tasmania but will look into it with the local mag repair/reseller that I know. Cheers Wombat

If anyone has some photos of the e brake conversion please feel free to send some to me. As I would like to do this conversion some time. Send to: wombat_racing@hotmail.com Cheers Troy "Wombat" Philpott
