Ok, the zuk is on hold for a little while, as I've just bought a Suzuki swift gti, with a half cage, and bucket seat with a five point harness, ready to go racing. Me and my brother want to do a few changes to it, it has a complete spare g13b motor, so we might put a high compression kit in that, and drop it in

well, the swift has been fiddled with, and is up for sale. in the meantime I have also moved again, back to my parents place. concrete has been poured in the workshop, space heater acquired for very little, and the sj is inside of it, so its ready to be finished of hopefully. when driving it to my new workshop, it kept stalling and bogging down, so a tune and carb clean is in order i think, but she does drive! bonnet flipped open after forgetting to tie it down, which put a reasonable dent in the windscreen surround, which is another job to do, but hopefully I will have plenty of time soon to work on it, as I will be saving a bunch of time in travel( now that I live right next to town again), and less other jobs to do.

Liking the look of the workshop. SJ coming along nicely, is it going that green?
Sid James gone but never forgotten
Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

yes, it's going to be that green, not to be missed anywhere!
workshop will be shared with my brother, half each, it's 6 by 7.2, so not a bad bit of space

I wanted a very bright green, can't even remember why. a friend owns a auto paint shop, and we picked the brightest one and most colour stable we could find. it actually has a lot of yellow pigment in it. I just need to learn how to paint properly now, but I'm sure it'll turn out fine. I need to take a dent out of the roof now, and stiffen it up, then the whole outside can be painted, followed by the last bits of trim etc, like the wiper assy, so the last of the interior can go back in too
