We Just picked up a Tin Top 410 for my Father to use as a daily drive, Didn't take him long to want another SJ, he's had quite a few in the past! well I say picked up, it's been sat on the farm for a few years and I had been planning on buying it for a while but my dad decided he wanted it so it was a case of negotiating a price with my mate and dragging it into the workshop.

Its a Spanish 410 with a 5speed gearbox and it should tidy up nicely. There's only a few patches of rust to weld up and they are all easy fixes. Should be quite quick to get it on the road as I have most of the bits that it needs.

a few pics for you guys Came with this hideous bumper so that didn't last long, might find a stock one for it? Or maybe run my old bumper Pulled the dash as we need to fit a new wiper motor and remove the heater for a clean, the grill on the scuttle is full to the brim with crap! Well it came with no engine where it's supposed to be however there was two in the back to choose from, one was a little stubborn to turn over at first but we let some oil soak in the cylinders for a while and it free'd up nicely, seems like it has good compression so we will fit that one and hope it's good. The F10a is a strong little engine so fingers crossed! we're planning on rebuilding both engines and turboing them eventually, one will go in the LJ80

Brilliant, I'm jealous of all the finds you lads down south get!

The bumper is I say stick an original one on..... but I would!

mate you wouldnt be able to sort me out with another sj would ya

There's plenty around for sale matey just gotta look around!

My dad whipped the heater out for a clean the other night, think it needed it Picked up a new clutch and a load of other bits including a Janspeed header and exhaust for the little 970cc

just look on ebay. there is loads on there at the moment over 30!.

As usual you always find more rust the more you look, still it's not that bad!

My dads made a start cutting out the rust and starting a few patches.

why is it they just rot away?

looking good.

Nice one. Same model and colour i had about 15 years ago and it was great!

Cheers Gonzo and Ian

This one has been sat in a field for at least 5 years so that might have something to do with it
