It looks excellent! I bet its great fun to drive. I'm really jealous that you went all the way to Japan and brought a car back, that's really cool.

This is a suzuki 4x4 form so I doubt anybody here will know... But you never know!

Welcome. That's a nice, original looking 410. Have you many modifications planned or are you thinking of keeping it standard?

Why thank you! It took absolutely forever!! A slitting saw may have been a good idea, I think the original was probably cut like that. But I didn't have any to hand and a friend gave me two 1.5mm milling bits. I broke the first one within about 30 seconds trying to do a 0.5mm deep cut. I then realis...
