I've just bought a 20yr old Grand Vitara as a project as I wanted something for the shooting season. I normally just jump in someone's truck and hitch a ride if I'm beating, but I think social distancing will be required for the forseeable future. My Mondeo gets stuck on the flat and the GV looks really tidy. It was also cheap.
There's a wheel bearing moaning at me in right hand bends (guessing ns/f) and I have it on ramps patching the os inner sill for most of it's length. Ns/f body mount is half gone (garage can weld that for me!) and I'm planning to put a 2" suspension lift on it once I'm confident it'll pass an mot. The nearside looks good. Odd.
Just under 80,000. Dead basic 2.0 petrol. Hopefully not a lot to go wrong. Doesn't even have ABS.
I'm calling it The Fridge because the local motor factors don't have any sheet in...but I kept the lid off a hotpoint for this very eventuality.
I've bought some 0.8mm wire and the correct size tips for my gasless welder, given up trying to weld seams and guess what? - I've stopped blowing holes in it
I will be asking advice on how to tackle stuff when I get stuck if that's okay?
