I'm still more concerned about the gaffa tape.

To stop the tinworm getting any worse before I get around to sorting it out...

Yeah, I feel like a right plonker for not sorting those things out *before* the MOT.

And yes, that bodywork is a royal mess!

Thinking of rebodying, or at very least getting new rear quarters to weld in. But that's low on the priorities list.

If its not rotten just leave the dents in it.

Some bits (the bits with the ductape) are a bit rotten.

The rest of the dents add character, but the vehicle is a bit embarrassing for the gf right now, it should be tidied up a *little*...

Do the rust and a lick of paint.

I got a shed load of rattle cans of grey. 20 of them. I'm thinking of just sanding back, throwing a little filler at it, then spraying it. Doesn't need to be perfect, just less embarrassing for the poor gal!

Insert example A.....Tim hardy If I keep my SJ I'm sure it would one day look similar to this

When I pass an MOT (medical one) bring it here and we can do it in a couple of days.

I don't mind the dents, it's just that I can't always get the Yaris out to pick up the gf, and she's a little embarassed by my rustheap. I like it, but I can kinda see why she would like it to be a bit tidier!

Ultimately I would like to build up a Jimny to replace the Yaris and the SJ. Although when I say "replace" the SJ, I don't plan on selling it - I'm hoping that my brother will tax/MOT/insure it and go offroading with me.

But that's a few years off, so in the meantime, I plan on doing some minor tarting up.

Alex - might just do that! After the Yaris is sorted...

I love Tim Hardy's sj!
it started out super clean, and now the only straight thing on it is the axles and rollcage
