Ya vo-taxs = some other poor guys problem now. So glad to be gone of it. At the moment its got giant manifold exhaust leak so makes no boost, the hill holder is pouring brake fluid, chewing coolant, +330-000km worth of wear and tear. RX is much more sophisticated:rolleyes:

Clicky clicky

The newer alternator. I havn't seen one of them before. Electronic ignition and a box full of headlight relays and rad fan relays. rust More rust repairs. Just rust repaired.... lots of missing trim. headliner etc.

Here are a couple more random pictures to do with it.. Some more to come. Its rainy weather and I'm getting a bit bored.

'81 Brumby -48000miles - 81000km '81 Brumby - Odometer hasn't worked for a while and no one knows how long - 117,000miles - 195-000km '87 RX - 162,000miles - 270000km. '83GL wagon parts car with 360-000km '84 Brumby farm ute - around 250-000km '89 GL Omega - around 270,000km

Neet pictures! Those coupes are awesome. The yellow one looks a bit sad.

I got the 4 separate wagon wheels off a different guy in the same town, Going to use them for the RX as it hasn't got a full size spare. That wheel thats different, theres 4 of them, and they're weird and grey and don't look much like any wagon wheels i've seen, different looking shaped spokes or something. I think the seats are just standard brumby ones, they're the same as in my brumby, just the previous owner said he swapped the driver and passenger seats over and stuck that seat cover on because the drivers seat was a bit shot. It was definately a fun trip. Got some looks from people as two of these teared past them up the passing lanes, (making tons of noise too, its got a fairly huge exhaust on it for the wee ea81). It may be my work car or something I'm not sure. Or the one that I molest with the Stupid modifications.

Pile-o-wheels. What is this wheel? its not the same as the wagon wheels.

This morning I took dad with me and headed out 400-500k's in the brumby down the island. Loaded up- 13 rims, mostly wagon wheels. 9 snow tyres, most with tons of tread, an 81 Brumby, spare ea81, spare 4speed D/R and some other assorted bits and pieces. Paid $540 then drove the lot home. Here is the picture story that follows. Photobucket account not working so linking from wherever I can. Back when the new one still had two wipers. One managed to launch itself at the car behind me after jumping off the edge of the windscreen and getting caught over the egde of the A pillar a billion times. Big bore eh boe! At the hydro electric dam on the way home. Home. Ran perfectly the whole way. I think the front section (valance?) has been replaced with one off a single headlight model. I'm pretty sure its definately an '81, thats what the registration says anyway. Nasty rump roast rust repairs everywhere. I love it. EA81 in review mirror FTW. The other stuff. Sorry for the ton of pictures, someone might find them interesting. I'll get some of underhood too, as the guy before me has put an electronic ignition kit on it, runs real nice. Apparantly its been repowered a lot of times too. fuelpump and filter are under the bonnet. Has a different alternator fitted with internal voltage reg. The guy was an electric engineer. Has the roll bar too. Great! Engine rebuilt recently, rebuilt steering rack, new clutch. Bites hard. Spins 185.. Brilliant.

Roflcopter I agree

Thats awesome! How far is lake frozen over for? Looks to continue as far as the eye can see, sooo cooool. I can only imagine how much fun that'd be!

mmm, If it were closer, to be fair, at that price I would too.. But Its on a completely different island to me. I've got something else lined up though *hush hush*

Just got emailed this new listing... http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=83953827 It makes me saad to see one so broken. Gen 1's aren't very common over here anymore.

Its going to the dump soon. Finally got A into G. Bump for anyone who might want anything, or anyone who wants to see one fly. #27 will be lonely once it goes, has kept her company lately (just don't tell her shes going the same way soon too)

Free bump for video.. or something.

So what happened? I'm having trouble telling.. Just sorta... slid off? Is snow really that bad?

Probably sponsered by a toyoya dealership, Thats my best guess anyway..

There were the two RX's though, the ea81 RX dual carb thing, and the ea82 RXII, both Leones.. Then before those RX's probably the ea71 style, Good thread, THats all I know.

If it makes any difference, I talked to a guy once who said he and a friend swapped the flapper for the hotwire once, also changing ECU's. I have no idea how easy it would be though.

So you'd be lookin to clarify on which wires are: *Turn signals *Headlights *Wipers *horn Is there anything else on yours? Cruise Ctrl? I could have a fish around under dash of mine if ya need.not sure how difficult it is to get in there though.

roflcopter!

I think I read that the rally specced RX's ran 14boosts!!! Thats right! 14! I also think they blew up a bit too.

/\ _ /\ lol at mad max.

Also... Had a tenenus shot recently?:-p
