Sorry albertross
you'll get one eventually.
Plans for this are to keep it pretty stock at the moment, I want to keep it a 1.3 for cheaper tax but it might see a swift gti engine eventually??????
And nooooooo robbie! You could give me £1500 for it once its all done if you want

I can definatley see the potential, & everyone knows that J reg samurai's are the best! Just out of curiosity what brand tyre is the spare? Do you think you will opt for a soft top for it? Keep us updated!

Cheers guys
Darrell that cracked me up
it certainly needs a clean that's for sure!
I realised today that the top is quick release 6 clips and the rear section is off so ill prob not bother with a soft top for it. I've also got a bikini top I can use on it if I want.
It's a Goodyear of some sort on the spare but the ones fitted are different.
Gonna have a play one evening this week to see if I can get it running, I do have a few friends cars to sort before I can get to work on the bodywork though, think I could have most of it done in a day and I'm just going to get some better wings for the front, no mods planned yet apart from making a rear bumper and some tow points. Maybe a ruf and rascal rears For a tiny bit of lift and some bolt on rock sliders, I want to build tubular bumpers for the SWB so I'm tempted to put some on this as well?
As much as I want to keep it stock some bolt on mods to protect it if I go green laning are quite tempting.
