June 21, 20178 yr Hi Guys. I'm new here and new to Subaru's as well. I found an 88 Brumby out in a paddock and the owner said I could have it so here I am. It's a manual and I need to convert it to auto (Pegleg by name, Pegleg by nature. It's bloody hard to drive a manual with prosthetic legs!). Once I've got the bits for that I'll look at getting there old girl running again. I'll be doing an EJ swap of some kind in the future but not sure how big I will go... Thinking of looking for a closed deck EJ22 and adding some mild body to make it a bit more sprightly. ????
June 21, 20178 yr Hey Pegleg, Welcome to the Subaru community, and congrats on the Brumby find! My suggestion would be to find an early 90's Legacy donor with an auto, and put the works in there. I think that would be a whole lot easier than finding an older 3AT and adapting that in, plus whatever issues the current engine has. You will have to cut down the wiring harness from the donor to run the electronics, but the rest is not too difficult. Plenty of build threads here to see how others did it. Cheers!
