I'm still going on it. still plodding along with this dam metalwork... This is the bit I've been working on making nicer recently and I'm fairly happy with how it's looking.

Looks excellent. Was it fun to drive?

The diameter of the pipes might be the biggest help. I'd say the smallest one will be return? Leaving only two to guess about. I would agree that the one facing us probably goes to the carb. But why not do a test? Crank the engine over and stick your thumb on the pipes. See which one sucks.

Hey guys. Does anyone know of a method of decoding the vin number of an lj? I've seen lots of decoders for other makes and model of car, but never come across one for the LJ. I'm interested in knowing the exact year of manufacture as I'm not 100% sure the v5 is correct. I'm also generally interested...

Thanks guys, I apretiate the apretiation! And your absolutely right Robert. To be honest I'm only posting a fraction of the work on here due to time and remembering to take pictures of progress and stuff. But I'm videoing work too and am hoping to make a "restoration build video" once it's...

Some pipes you can do away with and some are needed. Rubber pipes you can block by cutting a small piece of bar the right size to fit inside and tightening a jubilee clip around it. Solid pipe you can block by fitting a small length of rubber hose over it and blocking the other end in the same manne...

Thanks Anton! I appreciate the apretiation

Eljeeholland want €250 for the little rear corner piece, so tonight's task was to have a bash at making one.

I haven't updated this for aages, but don't fear as I still have the LJ and have still been making progress (very, very slow progress) I was all geared up to repair and make good of the (incorrect) rear quarters, until I started pulling tons of body filler from them and then lost faith. So I changed...

Nice one! Looks good. I did the mongol rally in 2018, best experience of my life. I saw a couple of suzuki doing it that year (410, lj80, jimny). Made it far too easy for them imo.

Nice! No going back now! I'm excited to see the removable metal hard top.
