Hi guys,
Another impulsive buy from my side...I found this one as i was scrolling around on the local bid platform.
As i'm a big Bruiser/Mountaineer fan i placed a low bid...and against all my expectations i won it ! As shown on the sellers pictures, this Bruiser looks really dusty with some minor parts broken/missing.
For example the side mirror (as usual) and the rear bumper is broken. That's not such a big deal as i still many original old replacements parts for those wonderful Bruisers. It also seems that the electronics has been modified, of course not professionally at all as you can see on wiring comming out of the electronics box.
I will also have to remove the modified front bumper and the self made rollcage...looks aweful to me and work on the body to get it perfect again.
I think it will look great next to my other Bruisers and my freshly restored Mounty.




Restoring thread will follow shortly...i still have to finish my Blackfoot and order a few ballbearing for the transmission of this newbie ! I still have to think about if it's going to be a shelfer or maybe a good runner...More to come !

Thanks for looking

You really have to wonder what some people are thinking ... just about any colour wire would have been better than earthing wire ... and those rollbars!

Still, it looks eminently saveable

Ha ha ha i agree, those rollbars are just ugly as badword

Look on the bright side - At least the rollbars may have saved the body from serious damage

Thanks Waterbok,

I'm picking it up on sunday as it's on my way to Germany, so you might see it in my car's trunk for real !!!
I'll keep you informed via PM for sunday.
See you

Is the Smurf an original or re-re? (I used to collect them as a kid...).
To me, it doesn't look like a lot of work to be a shelfer, but that could change if it were in my hands!

Update

Update comming soon....still working on my BF project
