Hi from Sheffield

Post by MrShuffle » Thu Apr 04, 2019 5:07 pm

Hi,

I'm looking for people that know lots about Suzuki's as I'm not very clued up - I've owned a few second hand modern classics recently and vowed to hang up my bargain purchase gloves... Until I spotted a yellow SJ 410 for sale I couldn't resist!

I went and bought it with no background knowledge of Suzuki's and, as much as I like to pretend I know what I'm doing, limited knowledge of car mechanics. I'll give anything a go with the aid of an online tutorial or Haynes step by step although I'm hindered with only on street parking.

So here it is- 1985 SJ 410 with 125k and a mild selection of maladies that I'm sure I'll be pestering you with (after I've searched previous posts, of course!)

Look forward to chatting with you all soon.

Welcome and nice truck. We all start off somewhere and they are reasonably easy to work on.

:welcome: to the forum! I start basically the same way, never worked on a car, SJ came up for sale, bought it.

Everything you need to know can be found on this forum, and if it can't just ask and someone will always know the answer :guns:
