Bought a Brumby at a Big auction for $100-00. Has a magic motor which still runs. Did compression and oil pressure test and all very good. So I decided to set to repairing it. [ATTACH]4494[/ATTACH]

Wow some major surgery going on there! Good to see another Brumby being saved from the scrappers. Hope it works out well.

Actually bought it for the motor. But when I did an all over inside/outside and under inspection I couldn't believe how good it was (Apart from the damage). Its a Toowoomba (Q'ld) car being the reason for no rust. Its suprising the parts u can round up if u hunt around. Found a brumby (Gumtree)in a scrap yard about to be crushed and got heaps of good body parts and got then real cheap. The New radiator was a bit of a hit over and above .
