July 12, 200619 yr Towed it home yesterday with the brumby:) How much does such a fine automobile cost you ask? $0! Thats right, nilch, nip, nadda, nothing! The bad part. Rust rust rust. And someone has tampered with the ignition and some electrical bits so I have no idea whether it goes. And the interior smells terrible. and 360k km So, with this beasty, I plan on pulling the ea81 and 4speed dual range, all running gear diff etc. Any other shiney bits that take my fancy. And then, its off to the dump! Anyone in NZ want any other bits off it? eg, doors, glass, interior, hatch thing? Gas struts still work. So yeah. Theres a complete 82(I think) wagon, minus running gear, g-box and motor. Free to a good home? Even just the doors or something as the body is Fubared I is well pleased. EDIT: I call dibs on fenders tooo. Maybe front bumper if no one at all wants it. EDIT#2:http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a28/waimaks/Wagon/?
July 12, 200619 yr Author I think our brumbys had those too? I know theres a difference with the XTs and those lights. How odd.
July 12, 200619 yr WOW I dig the marker light in the fender!! -Brian Ya I agree that is really different.I like those.
July 13, 200619 yr Author Had a pretty productive afternoon I reakon. Nearly ready to pull motor etc. The wagon wheels have made their way onto the Brumby already. Lookin' pretty fly:headbang:
July 13, 200619 yr WOW I dig the marker light in the fender!! -Brian I never noticed a difference there between Aus/NZ and the rest of the world... Check these two pics: Subaru Brat Subaru Brumby(Aus) I think it's to do with regulations we have over here. And NZ either have them to or just got these model because it was a Australasia thing. Nice find. All mine so far have cost a fair bit.
July 13, 200619 yr Author Heh yeah. Tis very rusty underneath the paintwork. The main reason I'm ripping it to bits though is the godawful smell inside it. I'd still use it offroad and things like it is...... It sure was fun lifting the front up with the tractor and hearing/watching the front of it get destroyed. Not very strong thats for sure..... The whole thing kinda buckled in the middle when I lowered it back onto the barrels.....:-\ Dunno if I can open the doors ATM.. Also, Anyone at all want doors and glass. I don't need/want it and would feel bad sending it to the dump with the rest of the car. The doors aren't too bad, just some surface rust on them, maybe the odd hole....
July 13, 200619 yr Do you have metal recyclers over there? I have a local guy here who is willing to pick up cars and take them to get recycled. Better then going to land fill.. Although good dumps have metal recyclers go through them anyhow.
July 14, 200619 yr Author I don't know if theres anywhere that would take it for free. Only copper and aluminium etc they like to pay me money for. But I can offload it at some recycling center for like $35 if its a whole car, and $25 or something if its stripped.... All the parts so far are definately worth the money so far
July 15, 200619 yr Hehehe, caught John having fun. Now that ive pulled one, i can say Subaru engines really are easy to work with.
July 17, 200619 yr Author Vroom Zoom ZOoom! hmm, I think I might have an axel out, and maybe some kind of fuel electrical issue?
July 19, 200619 yr Hey what colour/condition is the interior in? Like the center console etc mainly.....
July 19, 200619 yr Author By center console do you mean the bit with the heater controls, stereo,cigar lighter etc? Most of the plastic bits have at least a couple scratches and things, but is fairly intact, no major breaks from what I've seen. If theres something you need we might beable to sort something out if its not too busted up?
July 19, 200619 yr I'm after the bit the radio sits in and the trim around the gear lever and handbrake.....not too worried about a few scratches etc....but what colour is it?
July 19, 200619 yr Author Umm, Light brown orangey beige if I remember rightly. I will check proper when I'm home this afternoon though.
July 20, 200619 yr Author Cream/beige with a green tinge..... The 4wd console thing and boot are ok. Shifter console thing has a bit of a crack around the bottom. Boot is kinda torn. Bit with radio and vents doesn't appear broken, But I could be wrong. Heater control area looks ok, Maybe a bit grubby. Note, all interior bits are coated in a slight green layer and dead animal smell...

January 3, 200719 yr Author Its going to the dump soon. Finally got A into G. Bump for anyone who might want anything, or anyone who wants to see one fly. #27 will be lonely once it goes, has kept her company lately (just don't tell her shes going the same way soon too)
January 3, 200719 yr I'll take a nice porterhouse off of #27.... Oh wait, youre only offering parts of the CAR....
January 3, 200719 yr Wouldn't hurt to pull the stereo box out if it has the normal 81-82 angled unit as a few people change them over from the 83+ model so they can fit DIN sized CD players. Dean.
