what kinda bumpers does it have, and does it have any extra driving lights? they are some good things to change, as they can be usefull and look good if done properly
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

It has standard bumpers as didnt want to add to much extra weight and the light are also standard but ive got some nice round ones (i think from a golf) to put it.

Right now the engine is hanging out but by the end of the day hopefully the new 1.6 engine will be in there :)

If you are fitting the 1.6 it makes PAS easy which is another great mod.

Like Ferris said have a poke round some other build threads, find something you like and put your own spin on it.

Yea ive got the full PAS gear sitting next to the car wasnt sure if it was worth putting it on?

Also what do u guys think to putting on a brake servo? My spare truck has one on it, dunno if its worth swaping it over

Deffo worth it for the PAS

I dont find there to be much difference between my truck with servo and rear disc and my Mrs 410 with non-servo rear drums.

Think the tyre size makes mine worse and the fact hers has never been off-roaded and is on standard tyres means her rear drums actually work so it ends up even.
