The donor car will be supplying the conversion of a 1992 Brumby.

Cheers chris

700-900 Bucks hmmmm I think an EJ20 is looking better by the day.

Thanks for the feed back. I didn't plan on bidding on this one as I am in Brisbane and the car is in Sydney. Just wanted an idea of what cars in this shape go for.

Keep em comming so much to think about I am sure there is heaps I need to know between now and the build starting.

Cheers

Hello Ladies and Gents, I am looking for some feedback from those that have bought a wreck at auction. Any details would be good.... the process, good buys, nightmares etc. Pickles is pretty much all I have been looking at for a donor car for a EJ conversion. Any thoughts on what the car in the link...

Provided that everything is done to satisfy the engineer how much do the certificates usually cost?

Cheers

Although I am in QLD I will be watching this thread with interest. Where you said the limmit allows turbo's do you mean you interpret the rules as saying that a EJ20T would technically be allowed but not a NA EJ25 without an engineers certificate? Mine is for a MY Brumby but the info is still releva...

Very Very nice work. What colour is she going to be?

Cheers

Chris

That is simply awesome!

cheers

Chris

Keep up the good work lads, my mouth is watering watching the work unfold!

Cheers Chris

Very nice work there boys, Chris will be very happy with the end result knowing that he basically has a brand new car once its finished. Love the attention to detail. I love the ingrown attitude of taking the Hard right instead of the easy wrong. Every customer you guys have in the future can leave ...

maybe a good idea! But something tells me they get more satisfaction this way.

Keep up the good work boys I bet it will be a cracker.

Very nice car mate. Am envious! would love a pic of where the fixed part of the cover meets the rear fire wall/window if you could?


Cheers Chris

Thanks for the replies gents keep them comming. Brumbyrunner as far as my limmited research sugests the SOHC ej25 came in the 00-04 Outback (wikipedia) but only the Outback Sport has the DR box.....? the 03 and later Foresters had ej25 engines with DR but am unsure if either models were SOHC or DOHC...

Ok Gents its time to start seriously looking for a donor car to steal all of the goodies from for my tired old Brumby. I'm in Brisbane and would love to know where the best place to find the donor car from. I've had a look at Pickles for a smashed car (will keep looking) has anyone bought from them ...

Any reason for a diesel genset? Those honda 1-2kva ones are gold!

Cheers

Chris

On first look it seems a much better starting base than the last one. Is there a older subaru around that hasnt had an engine bay coated in oil?

I'm sure this will be another great thread!

Cheers

Chris
