my little project

Post by mk1joe » Mon Mar 22, 2010 8:31 pm

hello everyone, im joe from gosport
at the moment i am going through motor mechanics collage so what better project to buy than a sj? but mine really is a project and looking at it i can see i will be needing a lot of your expert help, starting with rust in the rear just behind the wheel arches, is there any repair panels i can buy or will i have to cut one out another car? im sure this is the start of many future questions.
thanks for looking
joe

Hi looks like a nice project.

Take the grinder to the rott as said.

I have a white soft top in good condition hear, only fault is a tear on the back drivers corner, can easily be stitched if your interested?

H,,, why do you think he needs a new roof???.. At least with that one, its ready for the summer,,LOL.
Welcome to the forum fella,, i think theres a supplyier in germany that does sj panals, or is it grease. Im sure if you google it, it comes up. But im sure your local fabrication shops will fold you metal to whatever shape you need.

so far i think im going to keep it pretty standard, maby some preformance modifications but i dont know what would be best? definately needs a new coat of paint! i think i have cleared out all of the wasps living inside of it.

welcome to the forum! good choice in motor! the 410s are the best :mrgreen:

looks like some serious rust you've got there so i hope you are handy with a grinder and MIG, or at least willing to learn! sjs are brilliant little cars to learn mechanics on too as they are pretty simple.

will be good to see how this one progresses :mrgreen:
