Re: Hello
here is my pride and joy, since buying back in June last year...shes only done a genuine 63,000 miles.
1st and 2nd photo as bought off ebay from Yorkshire.
done the following work...
Welding on outer sills, back wheel arches and front wings.
New clutch, replaced engine (original was losing soo much coolant)
New radiator
changed front wings (still needed some welding but not much) was lucky and got the same colour.
4 new tyres and newer rims
changed front seats
new brakes all round.
replaced both bumpers
new front sides and indicators and rear lights.
new heavy duty rear springs
replaced rear tailgate
fitted spots
fitted CB
Fitted stereo
new kit for webber carb
full service
new rear brake pipe
all in all spent around £1000 in parts so drive train is all good, got a whine off the gearbox in 5th so probably change that.

Here is Suzanna 2 days after passing the MOT = no advisories...
This is as she is today see below(plug a whopping big red CB aerial)... we go logging for firewood (I work for the Forestry Commission) so its a natural thing to do so the SJ gets used to take logs home and take the dogs out into the sticks and also I use Suzanna if needing to go into a right muddy or remote site in the forest (saves the car)
I need to finish the paint work when I can afford it and its warm enough (also own my 1st car a 1977 Morris Marina) so have to share my pennies between projects without getting in trouble!!
here she is..
