Hi there, I'm based in Wellington, NZ and when I was passing through Riwaka on my way to visit my parents for Christmas I saw a sweet ute on the side of the road for sale. A couple of days later I'd secured the purchase and booked it on the ferry back to Wgtn. It's an 81, 1800 d/r with the twin headlights.

 

Currently I'm getting it mechanically sound - 1 new cv, new balljoint and tierod end on the driver's side, and I need to weld in a patch in the tray. Then I'm getting onto making it go a bit quicker.

 

How many gen1s are there around NZ? I haven't seen any around Wellington....

Welcome! Sounds like you have a nice Brumby on your hands.I know there are a few guys in in Nz that will probly chime it at any time.

Again Welcome!

Hello! How 'bout some pictures eh bro!

I also I have an '81 Brumby in NZ yet can't kinda figure out what the first gen Brats were called over here.

And apparantly there used to be lots of these babys running around NZ, but before my time at least and rust ate most of them.

Mine is the only first gen Brat-Brumby I've seen in NZ in person.

Yay!

Heres my baby....
