So after debacle it's in my driveway. Currently on charge as the battery is well "haddit" so going to try get it going tomorrow.

Too cold outside to work on the hub tonight so I'll get out there in the morning and should be able to back it into my garage and then be able to jack it up and get the hub out and see what's what under there :)

It's actually a whole lot higher than I imagined (haven't seen a bumby in years and never a lifted one) it's AWESOME!!

Going to be soooo much fun when it's on the road. More pics tomorrow when it's light again

no carpet, but the rest isn't too bad missing a few screws for the plastic around the s/wheel but nothing too bad

I found it on Gumtree of all places, was looking around vic just searching for Brumbys and then expanded from melb to vic to australia, and found this one in Ipswich QLD. was a great price and didn't cost me too much to have it shipped down, so I still think I'm ahead even with out if have rego yet :)

I'll get more pics tomorrow when I get to work on it and show off the inside etc.

Good one Ash! I'm really looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh!

Unfortunately I won't be able to steal my mo'inlaw's brumby, I've got to get it going again, it's had a few cooling issues and needs a bit of a tidy up!

Catch you then!

Cheers

Good day and the brumby lives. Runs a bit rough but better than not running.

I'll start up a "my ride" now and probably stop posting in my "hello I'm here" thread :p

lol
