Thanks, I didn't mean to modify it.
It all started when I ripped the sill cover off at Parkwood off road site and found loads of rust underneath, and when I tried to cut it out there was so much rot that the top of the shell wasn't really attached to the bottom of it. Lol
All the sills and under the little Sammy arches had just rotted away.
I was ready to scrap it but I got talked into learning how to weld and just got carried away while it was in my garage.

There's not a whole lot of the Samurai left, and there's a lot of vitara in it so I call it a Samtara.

Oh yeah, I made the exhaust from a mix of Merc sprinter exhaust pipe and a gsxr 600 end can.
It was just what I had lying around.

Welcome, love the zook. If you want coils why not use Vit axles?

Don't want to have an a frame set up and the diff is in the wrong place. I want to make it all myself just to see if I can.
I'm going to make the arms quite long too to try and get plenty of flex. Probably have to change the props too though, but not sure what to use yet.
