The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Ive got the following

The lwb wants new cills , arb and compresor fitting. 1.6 8v
With an su shoved in. Mot end of jan! Then ps fitting.

The little soft top wants some welding and general recommissioning
Mot end of jan!

The tin top wants the whole drive train looking at and 16v lump going in. And
A fair bit of welding.

Then its kja time. Just requires light assembly :lol: and welding

Sadly 2014 may be the end of my multi zook lifestyle and 3 if not all
Maybe sold over the year. I plan to keep my kja but we will
See nearer the time.

I think with anything you've got to name your
Price in the ad. Offers just tends to be more hassle.

Put up a price and it gives people a starting point.

If you could mot it I reckon that would make a big difference

My plans are to get my 16v fuel injection setup going, put some decent lift springs on the back and go up to 31" tyres, get a winch for the front and start looking at supercharging if I get the time!

Well...
Heavy duty bumper, fit 5speed box, de-coke head and fit all new oil seals on engine so she passes mot in October, snorkel, rear disk conversion, YJ's if I can find a set, might make a new rear bumper as the standard one doesn't fit that well anymore, most importantly, move the towing ale tricks socket so I don't rip it off next time I go pay and play

And lots more mud! Only went proper off-roading once last year :(
