just picked up a lil brumby for my sister in decent condition,
just as im half way thru my forester mod's, now another project!!!
hahah
it all runs well and body is very straight, just needs a CV, which the guy gave me, and a new 'o'ring seal... fairly pleased all round,
just gotta get powersteering and air con for the thing, gonna start hunting thru old threads about brumby's now... heheh

any tips or advice is welcome, as its a very different game compared to my forester

Brumby's don't need power steering, just load up the back and the front gets really light!

Try to track down a second-hand FSM, the Gregory's manual is rubbish. I've picked up a couple of FSM's for $30-40 and they have at least 3 times as much information.

cheers dean, the steering isnt too bad for me,
but my sister is a lil weaker than I, but she'll get used to it i guess, more weetbix ey!

Thought I'd gone soft driving my L sedan with power steer for a while, got in my no power steer Brumby - nearly died. Tyre pressures and wheel align can help.

i dont mind the steering as is, but not that easy in small car parks,
i'll keep the fozzy to myself, and she can have the ute to herself

i need my turbo fix....
