ok took my brumby to get checked for rego and it got rust holes through both front chassis rails and hole back end is full of it aswell its either get a new car and keep the brumby and slowly get rid of the rust or just sell the brumby
oh and the new car will be another suby

Depends how much you love your Brumby, and wheather you want a project or not.

i freeking love it lol but depends if its gunne be worth it

where abouts are you in NSW? I got a spare shell that you could prob swap everything over to or dice up for patches

but he wants rust free mines the complete opposite of that

Yeah defs keep it then. Sooo worth it!

unless theres anyone that can weld for me down my way lol but i really want to strip in down and redo everything

but im doing a welding course atm so ill wait till i learn mig and start cutting and welding

before i get to far coz of the rust in the chassis rails will that need engineered if i cut it away and re weld it

Not if you put thick enough under body sealant and make sure you grind all the welds flush, they'll never know and if they do suspect something they can poke it with a screwdriver or whatever and they will only find steel.

hahaha true ill have a look but i got a feeling the whole car might be a bit far gone
it used to be a perisher car so it went up and down a wet and salty road for years before we got it

Yeah you'll probably find the sills and bottom of the pillars are rotten on the inside if the rails are rusted out, I'd look for another & swap whatever you can/need over to the rust free one.

ok.....you guys need to think outside the square.

The brumby body is ratshit! end of story. it has gone to heaven and aint commin back. lets move on.

But he loves his Subie. So buy a newer Forester rustfree one for a daily.

Then with your engine that sweet little ea81 from the brumby you start building something for Church on Sundays. Something that will slow up the prayers and take those sad souls seeking forgiveness a thing off their mind.



and you build this-









sell the parts left over, and feel the breeze.

:-D:

Now THATS an idea!!!

haha ur its to far gone im looking for a replacement atm
but ive had heaps of offers for a farm car
and not a bad idea of putting the engine in something im thing a dune buggy

Even better a dune buggy would be sick!

haha yer one good thing about the living on the bush

Just cut all the useless panels off it, patch up the chassis & weld a couple of strengthening rails underneath & instant 4WD buggy, why bother making one.
