After 3 years of waiting my Samurai is finally ready. Been out on the road for 3 months now and have taken part in a couple of club events.

Here is a before and after pic

Like that a lot! Looks like you swapped the grille for a 410 grille - I'd like to do that too, as I think it'd be fairly easy to modify it so air can pass through, but it stops mud. Got build thread?

Oh, and :welcome2:

Oh, and

Sadly no - got a slide show uploading and will share that soon.
The front grill was replaced for a different reason. The original one was in my garage and happened to find someone breaking down a Maruti Gypsy. Same fit and it was a bargain. Wanted to keep mine as spare in case .. you know .. but when I upload the slide show you will see what esle I've changed in it. You'll be surprised what little there is left of the old Samurai

Thanks for the welcome

We've got quite a few members over in Malta, and (hopefully) a bunch of us bums are going to road trip it down your way this summer. It'd be great to get a good look at your wee beastie!
