Saturdays the day!

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Sorry albertross :middelfangers: you'll get one eventually.

Plans for this are to keep it pretty stock at the moment, I want to keep it a 1.3 for cheaper tax but it might see a swift gti engine eventually??????

And nooooooo robbie! You could give me £1500 for it once its all done if you want ;)

I can definatley see the potential, & everyone knows that J reg samurai's are the best! Just out of curiosity what brand tyre is the spare? Do you think you will opt for a soft top for it? Keep us updated!

Cheers guys :lol: Darrell that cracked me up :hahaha: it certainly needs a clean that's for sure!

I realised today that the top is quick release 6 clips and the rear section is off so ill prob not bother with a soft top for it. I've also got a bikini top I can use on it if I want.
It's a Goodyear of some sort on the spare but the ones fitted are different.

Gonna have a play one evening this week to see if I can get it running, I do have a few friends cars to sort before I can get to work on the bodywork though, think I could have most of it done in a day and I'm just going to get some better wings for the front, no mods planned yet apart from making a rear bumper and some tow points. Maybe a ruf and rascal rears For a tiny bit of lift and some bolt on rock sliders, I want to build tubular bumpers for the SWB so I'm tempted to put some on this as well?

As much as I want to keep it stock some bolt on mods to protect it if I go green laning are quite tempting.
