Well chuffed you're getting this one sorted Ollie.
How long till you're 17?
Must be pleased it's starting to come together and should be ready to go for when you pass your test.

Now its just the challenge of finding a ton of money for the goddamn insurance!

Yeah. Doesn't matter what car now though, all insurance for new drivers is sky high.

Wow - Dan, that's impressive! I know that cars have become safer and safer lately (a crash that would have killed you in a 1990's car will generally leave you shaken up but walking away in a car from the last 10 years or so), but I also thought that the SJ probably wasn't as safe as some more contemporary cars.
I guess being sat on a nice steel ladderframe chassis has some real benefits! You'd walk away from that crash with bruises. Most other cars designed in the era the SJ was would probably have folded up fairly neatly, with squishy driver/passenger gumbo leaking out all over the road.
