So, ive recently got hold of another vitara.


Bought for cheap off a mate everything working apart from the front diff has been removed.

90k,2 owners, no rot or serious rust, 16v, hardtop. In metlic green with added moss.






Plans are quite simple really, I don't really want to spend loads on this one, just want to make it capable off road and put a smile on my face.


List.

Collect and Replace front diff

Collect maletesta kobra tyres and jimny dish steels off my mate in wales

Strip carpets and rear seats out

Service engine, re-Greece front hubs, check brakes, new diff and box oil

Lift it, front strut spacer & merc springs, rear rover 600 springs & mk2 astra shocks

Cut inner aches out and bend metal for wheel fitment if needed

Respray, Primer grey with orange bits

Downpipe snorkel

Box section front bumper with shackle points

BUY MORE RECOVERY GEAR!

Im hoping to get the wheels, diff and lift on within the next month. then get her out see what shes like!

Sounds like a good plan.

Take it its gonna be a road legal machine?

sounds like a good base to start!

Cheers mate, yeah going to get a ticket on it when its all back up together, I got a family member for the mots so hopfully he will bend the rules a touch regarding poke on the wheels etc.

I was considering just running it on trade plates, but im not 100% clued up on the legal side of using them for social purposes...


But eather way yeah it will be on the road!
