1990 Subaru Brumby GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A neglected masterpiece"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The choke needed replacing. It was stuck shut.
Indicator lamps.
A Lot of dents in the body.
Needs a new clutch.
Lights are rusty and blown.
Tail gate was siezed.
Gear box linkage pin broke.
Bald tires. (My fault!)
No exhaust past the cat' converter.
Sway bar bent due to rock incident.
Ignition starts with a screw driver.
No door keys.
Bull bar is loose.
General comments?
When I bought her she had been sitting at a dairy farm for 2 and a half years without moving. She needs a bit of TLC. I love it though. The motor started first time. That has to be a good sign of reliability.
Long live the Subie's!
