sj 413 unusual project

Post by i_am_me » Thu Mar 14, 2013 12:16 am

i have just got a sj413 off roader only for a very good price so i though i would show you guys it.
its going to be a bit of an unusual project which will be disclosed at a later date :P
this was our starting point.

some of you may have seen it on ebay last week when it didnt sell,but one cash private sale later we were towing it home,it came with a car trailer and a lighting board included.
the body is completely gone but the chassis is solid and the engine is good,already got a weber carb on it and has only done 55k :doublethumbs:
has a leaky water pump and the rear diff seal is leaking but other than that it seems mechanically sound.apart from the leaf springs being flat :lol:

has a welded rear diff and a badly made sorkel,also has studded tyres which will be getting replaced with some mud terrains soon.

little bit has been done on it so far

back end has now had a spring over axle conversion and we are testing using coil springs on it to see if its a viable option

yeah i found that amusing,apparently it was the only window he had left when he rolled it so it got put in the front.
i pushed it out so i could see when i was driving it

the back end is far too stiff atm so we are looking at swapping the coils we fitted in the back for softer ones.
