Bought this the other week, it's done 58k and is in amazing condition. Me and Paul are going to do some bits to it and then decide weather we moth ball it or sell it on.
Il do a small build thread to show what's what with it.
We got it back, jet washed it off and it's amazing, no rot anywhere, paint on the bonnet is flat, so we will paint that (Paul's a professional painter) and we also will paint all the bumpers and bumper caps, bull bars ect.
Has a webber carb and full Janspeed fitted by suzuki at the dealer from new.... How cool is that !!
Has it's issues though, fuse box melted and there was a small fire in the foot well, it's melted the fuse box and some wiring, so we have to sort this first.

First we plan on sorting out the wiring and fuse box, then get it running. Full service and strip down brakes. Then finally tax and mot it.
Il get some pics of the interior, it's incredibly clean, full carpet front to rear, suzuki genuine roll hoop inside, cd changer, tool kit, the works.

I don't break all the trucks I get, I've been selling lots recently, I've usually sold them before I get home though, I only break Suzukis that I couldn't sell, I won't let people buy something that's unsafe, therefore I break them and scrap the dangerous parts.

It's of this week to be re wired by a friend of mine, debating weather to pull out all the in car audio?
Once it's wired we will change the oil and filter and get it running, full service and inspect the brakes. Then we will start the paint work on it.
We've set ourselves a budget and also a time frame, hopefully should be about a month or so.
Il take some pictures of it soon, it's sat in container now, with the door left open so it's doesn't sweat, this is probably the best suzuki I've ever seen, I am so happy that we are able to save it. The woman who rang us up to ask if we wanted to buy it had people wanting it off her for off-roading. Which is what this thing should never see !!
