^Gidday,

^{Any plans to support older gen Subaru's for hard to get parts ?}

^{Eg: from the 360, FF-1, BRAT & others ...}

^{Cheers, Bantum ...}

Not really ...

I'm pretty sure they all came out of the factory with same colour, it's more likely that they have faded over time, with heat & oil stains etc ...

Add: I'd check that as it may only apply for Australian models, some later models here did have black covers ...

Can you Post up a pic of yours to confirm ... ?

Add : I also recall something about there being variations in cover colours for different capacity / type engines ... :ph34r:

Cheers, Bantum ...

I believe that this is the culprit :

Not sure how you'd fix it though ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

No ... but the Holts Dupli-Color Auto Spray DSH15 - Holden Marina Blue or the GM / Pontiac Blue colour in the VHT range are a close match ...

Add : another site worth looking up : http://www.paintscratch.com/touch_up_paint/Subaru/

Query: Are you offering an engineered or 'certified' product fit for registration purpose that complies with road regulations ?

Otherwise you should add a 'disclaimer' on your cover page that these spacers are to be only used for off-road ( unregistered ) purposes.

Small update :

After much searching I have finally found a spare wheel for my Brumby:

More details can be found on the AUSubaru site under Bantum's Brumby ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Just did a search & you can also get them from here :

Heaps of other options there too ... !

Same here - getting this error message : "Invalid Conversion ID"

Ciao, Bantum ...

Thanks...

I wish, no job offers as yet ...

P.S. The 3D model is now available on 3D Warehouse - I had to break up the file size to make it suitable for download though ...

Currently the bed length measures in @ 1300 mm & 2300 mm approx. fully extend ( with tail gate down + hatch open ) ... :ph34r:

I might do a few renders with it all opened up, just have to show it now ...

If we pester Subaru enough, maybe ? To get some action happening see here ( this one is in AUS but I'm sure there others ) ... :huh:

Cheers, Bantum ...

Ok - Time for an update :

I've nearly finished modelling, just added some final trims & did some preliminary renders :

Hope to do some hi res images in photoshop or similar soon ...

I also might look into a 3D printed model later ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Gidday Subie Gal,

Good to see that this car has gone to a good home, cant wait to see it finished ! ...

Query - What are you going to do with the old motor ? - As I recall it had some unfortunate issues with it ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

August 2, 2013

Doh ... Someone else from here had the same idea ...

The '78 looks a little odd with a shorter rear end ... :blink:

Got any pictures of it being cut up / worked on ?

Cheers, Bantum ...

July 26, 2013

Yea ha, yes ... I've finally found one ... ! ... :brat: ... :wub: ... said it out loud in the shop too ... :ph34r:

Located it in a local Brisbane toy shop & was at the right price too ... pretty chuffed right now ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

July 23, 2013

Thanks ...

Yeah, we can only hope ... ^_^

P.S. - This is my next project I'm working on in Sketchup & will post up some more details later ... :ph34r:

Cheers, Bantum ...

July 23, 2013

Yeah it's always a compromise with a simple cut & shut operation - KISS was main intent here ...

Do note that with the seat in this model you should be able to push it back a good foot before it hits anything ... How tall are you ? I'm 180 cm and have fun fitting in the Brumby, with the seat all the way back my knees just miss the steering wheel ...

I might do an option for a larger crew cabin / tray on a longer wheel base model later, keep an eye out for it ... :ph34r:

Cheers, Bantum ...

July 23, 2013

Ok - I've started to put the results up on 3D Whore House ...

Please rate it to get some interest going ... XV-Ute 2013

Still not 100% finished, but will continue to fineness ...

Enjoy, Bantum ...

July 21, 2013

^{Small update ...}

^{Whilst I've nearly finished modelling the XV- Ute, I had some ideas for a more sportier version based on the WRX - see here ...}

^{Cheers, Bantum ...}

July 21, 2013

Ok - I'm not sure where to put this, but here is my latest effort :

This is based on the WRX Imprezza 2014 ? version due to come out soon ...

For those who want a more 'sportier' ute version ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

July 4, 2013

Update ...

Here are some of the latest images :

Cheers, Bantum ...

July 4, 2013

Ok - I've finished it for now ...

So have posted the !st draft up on the 3D whore house web site for those wanting to down load it here :

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=6c0c57172fd7abd44357da6907c78a70&prevstart=96

Will see if I can get some renders done later ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Ok, I found a few moments to consider some requests for a bigger version of the XV-Ute :

This one is based on the current Legacy / Outback platform & should give you a much larger payload + a sportier look to boot ... !

Note : For an even larger version, click on the link @ bottom of right of picture to see the 'Originals' ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

P.S. - I might have to come back to this & fix up the links ...
