Suzuki Club UK

After months and months of looking for my ideal SJ i have finally got one!!!

Bought it off carnut, although I didnt meet him his family were a great help, pushing it on the trailer etc etc A big thanks to you all

We took a steady plod home as the zuk didnt really fit the trailer (we had to take the mudguards off )

Its absolute brilliant, havent had it out for a long run but so far so good

We have a few problems that need sorting out asap,

1.The waterpump is knackered so will need replacing as its squeeling when started, although its not all the time and didnt do it when we were down there:?:
2.Need to sort out the rear door lock and handle assembly as it doesnt work
3.build a box for storing recovery equipment etc etc
4. A new grill as the one on there has been cut up
5. Power steering!!!
6. New/second hand(but good condition) soft top
7. Modify the seats as my large upper body is a little uncomfortable with the pads either side
8. Build a lightbar
9.source glove box door
10. hammerite the underneath
11. repaint the wheels
12. Eventually knock out all the dents, fill and respray over them
13. source a new face for the cd as although it works it doesnt show what radio station im listening

So a fare few bits and pieces to keep me going and to complete before I pass my test

Had a sneaky drive round the block today, i had grin from ear to ear

Forgot to add

I am after (second hand etc etc)

1. bonnet rubber stops (stops the bonnet hitting the car when open
2. samurai front grill
3. Rear door lock and handle assembly (really important!)
5. Black soft top
6. Glove box compartment door
7. Light bar?
8. samurai front seats
9. Plastic cover for under the ignition,steering and electrics

what do you think then?? ( Of the SJ )

Luke

looks really nice mate!

one thing though I wouldn't bother using hammerite underneath its crap! get some good underseal form your local motor factors!

Ok mate will do, I have alot of hammerite, infact tonnes of the stuff, but might aswell do the job properly, im sure I can find another use for the stuff

At the moment im trying to find insurance for it, any idea's (im 17 with a new license??)

Cheers

Luke

try 2gether 01945 465508 they were the cheapest for me when i first put my suzuki on the road and it was my first car! adrian flux are usually good but i'm not sure what they are like with new drivers and modded trucks?

well that was before i got put on my dads trade insurance

For the moment im going to take the front bumper off but im gonna keep the big wheels, i will definately try them though, the best quote ive had is 875 fully comp with footman james

Luke

Thats a good price!

Mine was 2K with adrian flux and my sj, all mods declared.

thats a very good price, my first lot of insurance was £1700 standard (ish)

glad to see the bug has bit! you will be at compton basset in october then!

Dan

Wish i was able to come but unfortunately im doing my gold duke of edinburugh so cant make it

Ive spent the day cleaning the interior,modding the seats and cleaning up a few bits and pieces (towbar,rear wheel bracket, leaf springs tank guard etc etc ready to paint in hammerite

I will do the underneath with underseal

Unfortunately ive found a few area's around the back that need welding but when they are sorted it will be a perfect little truck

My nans offered to buy me recovery equipment and perhaps a farm jack for my birthday so i will be ready to go

Luke

IMO i wouldn't go for anything other than a proper HI-lift jack! my mate has a t-max one and it always jams up even when its been greased up!
