Hi guys had a few jobs to do on the sj today as hopefull going out in a few weeks so only day had free changed petrol pipes , bit of wiring n painting few things n fitted a sammy bonnet that took me longer to fit than the rest of my jobs lol , i though it was a stright swap from the 410 , got it sorted in the end it wouldnt lock down the latch was hitting the back of hook on the bonnet so wasnt letting it lock down so got the hammer out and brayed the locking bit forward and jobs a gudn looks much better now needs painting as it is a navy colour but had no paint left so will do that a later date
