rascal springs on the rear
RUF on the front
rear disk conversion
410 t-box and transmission handbrake
alot of welding and tlc

Well today I decided to do some work on my rear arches, one side was fine chop out the rust and patch it up with one strip of fresh steel. the otherside, well, a picture speaks a thousand words, so heres three!







In the 3rd pic with the holes around the bottom of the arch that was all filled with body filler, and would you beleive that the back of my SJ was originaly black? looks like i have alot of plating to do!

I also think i may now have lung cancer aswell!

[bourneyo]

Well Most of the welding has been done, fuel tank is back in, new break hoses made and fitted, and she runs, took her for a very short spin! clutch needs tightning and the carb needs setting up for this engine, but other than that she ran fine! steering is abit heavy, but that may be due to the tyres needing abit more air!
