Ok, the KJA has been sat a while now but........

Due to some time constraints (working all weekend again) I don't think I'll have my Samurai body swapped in time for Billing so the new plan, more expensive but quicker, is to get the KJA on the road.

List to do:-
Order a set of tyres when I get home (215s, nothing too aggressive)
Fit the weber carb
Sort electrical gremlins (lights are iffy)
Tax, test, insure,

TAKE IT TO BILLING!!!!!!!!!

(hopefully)

I thought that too, something a little different / rarer.

I was thinking the same, then I realised it's only 3 weeks. Push comes to shove I'll be putting the 33s back onto the Samurai and running that down.

It'll be fine.
