Looks like a factory 1982 grille to me with the badge removed...and painted green instead of factory charcoal. I fitted an 82 grille to my 89 Brumby, you need to move one plastic clip on the body and it will fit right in.

custom grille, seats, taillights for brumby
i am 16 and on my learners so i am focussing on looks. i have seen this grille on two different brumbies, both in australiabrumbyrunner wrote:I'm not one of the people who knows the owner of that green Brumby but I'll bet you he didn't buy that grille off the shelf. Companies make billet grilles for cars like the current model Hilux that sells a couple thousand units a month in Aust alone not for poor old Subarus that have been out of production for 16 years. But don't be disheartned by that. If you have an idea of what you want your grille to look like just pull it out and see if you can change it. Or if you've seen a grille in something else you might be able to cut and shut it to suit. The word here is custom only.
The good thing about a forum full of old Subaru owners (or owners of old Subarus) is that they know what aftermarket parts are (or aren't) available. Personally, I've never got to the stage where I was so happy with the performance, capability and handling of my Brumbies that I thought about changing the grille. At the moment I'm building new trailing arms and cutting huge amounts of sheetmetal out of my rear end.
