Good evening all,

Due to not having anywhere to carry on with my samurai project, and im going to have to move it at some point. im thinking of just selling the lot... my project can be seen in the builds section.

Here is a list of spares that are with it.

Spare 1.3 carb - great condition
Spare 1.3 Rad - almost like new
Spare alt,
Spare starter
Spare front axle (all there but in bits)
Spare rear axle(complete)
Transfer handbrake drum with cable
Spare 1.3 gearbox
Spare 1.3 T/Box
Spare headlamps
Spare set of water pipes
Spare dashboard
Spare Set of prop shafts
Spare set of steering arms

Plus more

Shell is unbolted from chassis - needs sills fabricating and welding up, filling and painting

Chassis needs no work at all - rear axle with welded diff is half fitted and just needs building back up with rear disc (all parts needed are with it) front axle needs box section welding on to support leaf over axle and then re - fitting.

Wheels are 16" grand vitara with BF Goodrich Mud terrains 265 85 16's, they stand 33" tall.

The doors need little work, but are complete apart from door cards. bonnet is in good condition.

Front end is not the best, but i was going to repair it and fit it.

Comes with Bucket seats to fit and a spare set of runners to go with them. also 4 point harnesses.

off the top of my head, the following parts are needs to build it, plus lots of man hours....

perspex rear windows
Box section to do sills/rock sliders
filler
paint
rear lights
some form of rear mud guards
bigger off set wheels or spacers
prop spacers or use spares to extend current ones
z bar for staeering
all brake hoses- flexis and copper.
fuel pipes


Comes with the logbook, vin plates and number plates, and keys - there are 2 sets of locks

Will need a trailor to collect, plus some man power to lift and carry chassis with engine and box attached as no access with big trailer to where its kept.

Vehicle is kept in Doncaster and will need collecting from there

This should be an excellent little off roader if done properly, but i no longer have the space to work on it, nd to be honest, money is needed elsewhere so im cutting back where i can.

Any values would be appreciated, ive no idea what its worth

Thanks guys

I'd estimate £500-£1000. £500 would be a bargain and a £1000 a bit on the steep side by my reckoning but the likes of Scottie and Tramp will probably know better than me.

The problem is its all in bits and that could put people off, you can pick up an SJ in one piece that just needs welding for around 4-500 (sometimes as little as £200) you'd be best off selling all the spares separately and then the sj itself for a few hundred.

Yeah that is the problem, being in pieces isn't very advertising but someone should be interested, I hope so anyway! What would you think to advertising at 700 ono?
