Hmm...never heard of an SJ with a cat before. Ask in the forum on that one!

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

mine definitely has a catalytic converter, looks like one at least. like number 1 here, might be something else, but appears to be a cat

Had a trip out to Andy's and came back with a rear door and the heated window switch, set of front speakers and a spare wheel too. Going to go for a pickup idea rather than faff about with the fastback design. When the door is in the roll cage will be modified to let the spare wheel bolt directly onto it. Just need more steel tube!

That looks almost exactly the same as my spare tyre rim!

Nice of you to knick another one and replace the one you nicked off me... ;)

You're my kind of tea leaf, mate. :D
