LHD JA12, JA22 or JB32 ?

Post by Rabid Rhino » Sun Jun 04, 2017 5:32 am

Does anyone know if these models were ever sold in LHD countries ? If so which ones ?

As you may be able to see from my avatar I have the Euro version which doesn't seem to have a model number but it's a bit boring and square around the bottom corners so wondering if I can get the rounder cornered complete front for another project.

Closest bet is probably the Spanish built late model with diesel engine. They are really rare though, even in Spain I think

You'll also need the scuttle and bonnet or it won't look right.

SJ's should be flat fronted :tongue:
Sid James gone but never forgotten
Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

Why does it matter if it comes from a LHD country?

I think that the model you are looking for is JDM... I *think*. But if you are looking to import a front clip, I really can't see how it matters if it's a leftie or a rightie...?

Anton, I need to know if they made them in LHD countries as I'm in a LHD country so need the LHD lamps.
My avatar is my KJA with the complete front sourced from Portugal but if you look closely it's not the 12, 22 nor 32 front as the plastic grill runs along the bottom of the front with some silly little wrap around side pieces. Not to mention it doesn't go right to the corners like the 12, 22 or 32.
The lights are smaller than stock SJ/Samurai so I was wondering if they're the same size as what I've got but looking at location, the 12, 22 & 32 lights appear more central so unlikely any of the body panels are interchangeable.

PS.
I never noticed the curved front.
So where can I get a complete front from ?

Details on the light blue 4 door, please. How did he get the panels ?
