Re: Karis's SJ410
Well we picked the SJ up at 11.30 this morning and loaded her up onto the trailer.
Then about an hour later we stopped off at clarks village for a mooch around and I remembered to take some pics. Had a mooch, Karis bought some new shoes blah blah blah
Then we stopped at a pub somewhere in Somerset for a Sunday roast
And finally we unloaded it back at the workshop around 5.00 and........
It began
It had no brakes and we soon noticed a leaking rear wheel cylinder but it just so happens my dad had a brand new one in a tool box that he can't remember buying? For all we know it could be back from when he worked at a suzuki dealer
also had no shoes left but as I'm a suzuki border that wasn't an issue either
however both rear bearings are shot so I've pulled the half shafts and will order some bearing kits tomorrow
it's got a brand new exhaust fitted too! Bonus!
Bumper off so I can drill a snapped mounting bolt out. Found a few patches of rust that need patching, there's hardly anything though, its only got 60k on the clock A shot of the engine bay, someone's already fitted a 413 dizzy to get rid of the points but it needs a matching coil and work out what to do with the vac advance. shame they didn't paint the engine bay though! Nice bit of original yellow
also found a sticker saying the cambelt was done in jan 11
And the best bit
OMP bucket seats and some nice road legal harnesses, someone has bodged an old tintop door in as a bulkhead but we're going to take it out, won't be hard there's not much holding it in. I think Karis is really chuffed with it!

Re: Karis's SJ410
Pink lights?
Scottie can't be agreeing to that. Looks like a tidy little motor. Bright green will certainly make it stand out.
I presume you'll be doing the work Karis?
