Subaru FF-1 at Subawreck

In front yard - saw it only in passing - no further info or photos

Well banged up, you would want to be (very) keen or a parts car?

Rising Sun built two H6 Brumby's that I know of. I've seen both. A white one with an ER27 and 3" body lift and a EG33 lowered with 5 stud swap. I believe the EG33 was Steve's sons car. Personally I would prefer an H4 in a Brumby, already enough weight hanging over those front wheels... Spot on! The...

They were longer to comply with the Scandinavian equivalent of ADR - there was a min length to qualify as a commercial vehicle if I remember correctly.

I am discouraged from walking in and asking for parts for my old car from Subaru. Last time I did I had the usual discussion of "So is it a Brumby or an L series???" And eventually worked out their books don't go back far enough despite parents having actually bought the car from there :( Well that...

Back in the day Belair Auto Electrical was called 'Frank Gready Auto Electrical' and was a top notch business. Still comes up on inter web searches. Great name for a tradesmen!! Frank died I reckon mid-late 90s and the business was sold. That is just shite service though! Dave or AM auto have been a...

How much?

Just needs to be engineered by someone, or go over the pits at regency. Either will work as long as the modifications have been done properly. So best bet is to take it to your local dodgy engineer ;) Oh how I wish I lived in Qld for that Cheers Cam No, it won't. Not in a million years in SA. Make ...

Online decals/stickers business?

Was there a member here that does online vinyl decals and the like?

If not, any recommendations?

I think you mentioned you swapped the Speedy Desert Rats about - they had pretty poor build quality back in the day, something there maybe?

Be guessing around 1.5 - 1.7K kgs

But it is your unbraked that is the limiting factor - in SA you cannot exceed 750kg GMT

The extra fuel tank described in this car was (most probably) made up by a guy called Peter from the SA Subaru club day in the day. They occupied the tool well under the floor and had a pump to transfer fuel to the main tank. I had one sitting the shed for a while, never got around to fitting and mo...
