You do realise that it is left hand drive and will have to be converted to right hand drive. But with locally available RHD parts, this shouldnt pose to much of a problem

If you get 3rd gen RHS Liberty or Outback dash, steering rank, etc then you wouldnt have a problem. There are wreckers available to supply the dash etc..Suparoo wrote:You do realise that it is left hand drive and will have to be converted to right hand drive.

I was looking at bringing one back over when I came but I didn't have the cash by the end, But Rigoli performance brought one over!
87 targa brumby (Neglected),
92 targa brumby (weekend runabout),
97 Lifted Outback (Dailey drive),
05 outback safety (Too cheap to pass up),
90 model liberty (was to be scrapped instead sold to workmate)
+ others.

The trick would be to get one with front end damage so you can use the local drivetrain (all ok for ADR's) and basically just swap over the local undercarriage, wiring, etc, with the Baja body. You'd also save a packet in duty fees...
The problem is they're still very unbalanced looking (like most 4 door utes, like those hideous Commodore's from a few years back), and weren't a very good seller in the US (took them years to sell them, I think they were only made to 2006 and they were still available in 2008), so most cars that come up for sale in the US are still pretty pricey. I think around $16k last time I looked, plus freight, duty, etc, puts it at $25k AUS, plus conversion, donor RHD car, engineering sign off, rego...and this is all based on whether it's even on the approved list of cars you can import.

i told dad about the plan to bring them in.
itll be expensive to buy them, then pay duty and what not.
we reacon you got too options.
get a rear half cut and mate it to an outback or cut an outback up and make a ute properly with engineers reports and what not.
since ive got a few spare L wagons if we cann get the Glass out of one weve already cut up a bit, we might give it a nip and take the back and see what it looks like

The factory was shared with Isuzu but is now Subaru owned, although they do make the US Camry for Toyota thanks to their shareholding in Fuji Heavy...dfoyl wrote:Yes, made in the US with a factory shared with Mazda from memory...
