thanks !!
yeh its taken me ages to do it!! with work as well as trying to do this!!
to be honest, if i new how bad it was going to be after getting it blasted i wouldent have done it !!!
but at least the hard part is done now!!
the engine will be a 1.6 16v vitara engine, thats being machiened at the moment, my plan is to turbo it, but i am having second thoughts now though, my gearing will be so low, i dont really need to, its got a 5.1 transfer box and vitrara 5.125 diffs, so its going to be really low geared !!!
many thanks!!

I was following your build on Difflock but don't go on there anymore so it's nice to see it here now as well
Some top work has gone into your zuki, Fair play
Looking forward to seeing it finished!
So what colour are you going?

If i was you, do the engine a light colour, much easier to spot fluid leaks ect
Just my 2P's worth. going to be a very nice truck

thanks, i was goin to paint it yellow, but with the black would look silly !!
i have seen another 4x4, those that we dont speak of, lawn rovers??? tractor like things?? daft looking??
anyway, saw one with a black cage on a really dark red body colour........
and it looked the nuts!!!
so thats my plan !! but i might change my mind yet...

Just polish the alloy, make it bling bling
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
and paint all the other components.
I'm going for something a bit like this. I like the green but yellow looks

(these are 8v engines though)
