That RX would be a good restoration project, depending on how good the interior condition was. Removing the boost meter and Pug wheels would be the first place to start, and a fresh coat of paint. Getting pretty hard to find original RX's now.

A single is 30" at the top and 27" at the bottom.
I don't have a dual to measure, but pretty sure it's a bit smaller.

>One ute needs four of these, two lefts, two rights as they also plug up the ends of the tailgate trim itself I don't think that's correct. The tailgate trim end caps are a thinner material than the end caps of the side/corner pieces from memory. I could be wrong though, my side/end caps have been m...

>This is what I do with my welder, and is perfectly safe provided the plugs are wired up properly.

Not really. You are still transferring 15A down a 10A plug which isn't rated to 15A. You're just putting an adaptor between the supply and the unit.

I've run a 15A welder for years (decades) with no problems. It depends on the house wiring, if it's 2.5mm then I doubt you'll have a problem. I assume you're running it in a shed or garage, what does your C/B at the switchboard show ? It may be as simple as changing your 10A power point to a 15A (wh...

Model # 57SU0905

I'm no electrician, but it does show 240V, single phase, 50 Hz - your main problem is the 13.5A. That means you will either need to do the old trick of using a 15A plug and file down the earth, or just use a regular 10A plug.

Now you just need an Aunger rear venetian to complete the 80s look

I paid $25 for mine at the local PAP...

Maybe not yet

I think we were lucky that Brumby's continued after 1986 when the US market stopped importing them. As it was a built-for-export-only model, the volume globally must have been pretty low overall - Australia and the UK were probably the biggest markets, and I don't know if they were made post-86 in L...

Apart from the MR2-like front end and the tail-lights, this actually isn't a badly styled ute. The thin rear pillar design evokes the MY Brumby while the addition of the small window in the pillar modernizes the design. I'd keep the front bumper with integrated nudge bar unchanged, widen the grille ...

>sure is different to see an L series Sedan with an E30 BMW front It's an interesting idea, but it looks a bit odd as he kept the BMW kidney grille without extending the BMW design traits throughout the car - the hofmeister kick in the c-pillar design and the tail-light design in particular. The oth...

Registered and/or RWC ? If unregistered I would say you would expect to pay no more than $400 for a stock unit with rust.

>Only problem is, I only have (2) centre caps as this is all that was on the L series when I bought it

I probably have at least 2 spares if you want them...

For $7250 I'd have expected a RWC. In my experience buyers don't want to have to buy the vehicle and then run around getting new glass ($150), new tyres ($300) and the door lock fixed, unless the vehicle is a bargain. Plus the list of modifications could get pinged by a mechanic (the seats would be ...

I used an MY PS rack, EJ20 pump and custom pipes between the two.

>It's legal in vic to move through stationary traffic so long as it's in the same direction you're travelling in It's now legal (in Vic, as of early Nov) to move through slow-moving traffic also, as long as that traffic is doing 30km/h or less - which in bumper-to-bumper is no problem. Policing it i...

Print it in aluminium at CSIRO and it'll last pretty much forever �� Or for overkill, titanium. We had a few of the guys at work visit CSIRO recently and they were pretty worried as our core business is making grinding machines. Additive manufacturing is going to allow our older Subaru...

PAP Kilsyth 18-10 (yes, a week late). 1 black-over-yellow 1982 Brumby, ex-cowgirl owned and very rough. No front bar, everything in interior painted black, and pretty much all of the exterior also painted black. Has side steps but very rough and damaged. Tailgate gone, lots of rust. Had the clip-on ...
