awesome, looks pretty solid & original, I've always had a thing for 410 tin tops,

to the forum! Nice looking truck. The bodywork looks tidy. Tidier than mine from what I can tell.


More importantly, NOT BLACK! We had this a couple of days ago. Everyone paints SJ's black. We need some Hot Rod colours! If mine ever gets a re-spray it's going Daz White and getting either flames or pinstripes

hi and to the forum!

looks like I'm not alone on this.....but why the need for a spray job....that paint work looks in great condition..........

anyway......what's the plans for this baby?


nout wrong with black ed!........like mine

nout wrong with black ed!........like mine

There are too many black ones! We need some sunfire yellow, marlboro red and marina blue.

That said 4eye, yours is two tone black and orange, not black and black with a little bit of black.

no there 15" wheels the body work is quite sound but has some minor rust patches mainly on the arches have a hole on the drivers front side about the size of 50p peice and similar on other side which i'm actioning now pics to folow
respraying due to the fact that paint is looking old and the amount of repainting needed after taking care of the rust i am thinking of black with red trim bumpers and a stripe but open to surgestions as i've not made up my mind yet although i have had a lot of advice (ribbing) from a work mate with a 90 although i just think he's jelouas as i can get places at work he can't

Black and red sounds cool. Like the reverse of a usual Red SJ. Instead of red body black trim, black body red trim.

I think that'd look pretty cool.

other plans replace poly bushes fit cb radio and cd player neded to replace water pump replace rear seat belts new tyres fit front spot lights and maybe change the front seats fit the tow bar

[Edweird]

Replace rear seatbelts? How've they worn out?
