Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Progress today, she moves! :razz: I made the last bracket (I think) for this conversion project being the engine stay rod bracket. Just for fun(?) and being that I started later in the evening, I made this one entirely without power tools except a cordless drill, and the welder of course. I tell ya...

I love that bracketry and the tiny little spal fan!
This! Love all the bracketry.
It would feel rewarding once you problem solve the mounting.

Re: Red Targa Brumby

Cruising up to Subinats next year would be awesome. The date I’ve heard being thrown around for next year isn’t really convenient as it’s “mid term” for me but I’ll see what I can do. Class excursion...!? - other miscellaneous stuff like throttle cable, clutch cable mod, tail shaft, brake MC which ...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Here's todays effort, I terminated the engine plugs on the new harness. Set up on the kitchen table (of course :lol: ) with a cuppa and put on some good music https://i.imgur.com/hLkQe5m.jpg 3 hours later I had this: https://i.imgur.com/GHFbW75.jpg Along with a bit of eye strain and sore hand from ...

Something like that Bumpty. The part was seen in ep5. And with some detective work you’ll but it out in no time. Where’s the fun in me just telling you?? :twisted:

Re: Mighty Car Mods latest build AUG23!

So true, as viewers there is no way we can appreciate the work that's gone into the production and the background to get a build like this done so quickly. It's nice to hear that Marty and Moog are genuine off camera too. They do seem genuine and down to earth on camera and I suppose it would be har...

Re: Red Targa Brumby

Yeah, wow! What an epic adventure :o I did wonder how you came to be at MCM HQ, like were they lurking this forum and pick the most active and knowledgeable member? But yeah, the stars really did align with youself and Subarino Dave. Some much needed parts for the project luckily procured en-route,...

Re: Mighty Car Mods latest build AUG23!

Tell us, Bennie, as you’ve seen this build in the metal (and literally swung spanners on it) - what is your favourite thing about this build or something that took you by surprise that one might not realise from only watching the videos?

Re: Red Targa Brumby

Wow, Bennie!
It’s sounds like the stars were aligned and everything just fell into place to make it work. What a fun sounding trip and full of excellent surprises!
Did you leave a cheeky ausubaru.com sticker somewhere on the brumby for the new owner to find one day and sign up? Haha

Was okay in the end with cutting the paintwork since I won't need the choke cable hole for a choke cable any more.
I love repurposing parts (in this case the choke cable hole) that an engine conversion has made obsolete.
Sort of feels like a double win - like having cake and eating it too!

Reading through those old threads...it slowly dawns on me I've read them all before but back then had not the feintest idea what any of them were about :lol: This!

So neat mate!

Can you have Ruby Scoo and Redback Brumby sprayed after yours for me?? :P

Keep up the good work. You’ll have a fleet of beasts!
