My urge to restore a kja.....

[mike harris]

Evening lads !

Just recently I'm loosing interest in my suzuki, so I thought I may start doing something else. I want to restore a kja, but the same way I did my samurai, blast it

My metal and fab skills and welding skills ect have got a lot better since I did mine so I can hopefully make a nice one.

What you lads reckon? Go for it?

Definitely! You got a KJA in mind?

[andyrew]

Definitely blast the chassis too.

They do rust / rot on the chassis. Mine had.
I had mine blasted and that exposed a few hidden holes

The u channel for the fuel tank mount rots the worst then the bed mounts.
my rear spring mounts could be snapped off

Thats on a one owner ex plasterers kja so had a very easy life.

Do it. Do it NOW.

[mattmiles]

You can restore mine if you like pal, its a proper rot box

[ScottieJ]

Don't think about it just go buy one and start!!!


Matt it's about time you start s build thread for that crazy machine/kja you are building

[mike harris]

I defiantly want to do one.

May have to wait a little while now though.

Be pretty cool to get the project vehicle. See what pops up in the coming months.

Nice blue one on eBay, but it's a touch soon just bought a new car.

Restore or restomod?

would love to have another SJ and do a full strip down to bare chassis restore/mod it..

[mike harris]

Yeh if I do il do it the same way as my truck.

Restore then modify.
