New guy moved with my first 4x4 SJ410 pics

Post by j2sound » Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:22 pm

picked this up with no tax or mot and plan to get it back on the road and hame some fun with :)
plan to sort out the arches and front bumper then just spray the lot matte black with orange decals

any opinions on the car itself? ps, its E reg 1988 and cost me a blackberry phone & £125, the engine runs fine through every gear in both 2wd & 4wd so please with that :)

What do you lot think?

Thanks, and yeah i looks real bad tbf lol but the subframe is 100% solid, the shell has no rust other than the arches so is actually in good condition even though it looks terrible haha plus it come with a siren that makes animal noises and has a mic input so that alone makes up for rotten arch's ;) :)

:welcome:

Rat Look! :lol:

Looks like it needs a bit of work.

Have a look at my build thread for an idea of how to sort out the arches whilst gaining some extra clearance for tyres.

You say you have tried it in 4wd. Just a heads up. You shouldn't use it in 4wd on any surface that isn't slippy as it will cause transmission wind up.
