[i_am_me]

finally got round to taking a couple of photos of my vitara
not got any of it off road yet.





specs are
1.6 16v engine
steel bumpers front and back
3" suspension lift
4" body lift
pick up conversion
welded rear diff
29" mud terrain tyres
snorkel

i do have a couple of jobs to do on it,it needs:
rock sliders
sump guard/skid pan
radiator guard
better snorkel
different seats
bit of tidying up,possibly re paint it
tidy up the pick up back
make a set of bull bars
a make drop plate for the towbar
set of new rear springs
new rear shocks

Looks tidy enough.

Keep us updated with the progress

[i_am_me]

just put a full new sill on it since the old one was rotten,i was told it had new sills when i bought it but it only had 1 new sill.
also ordered a new set of rear springs for it so it should be sitting level soon

and went out with a friend for a drive down vikings way in Lincolnshire,it coped very well with the deep ruts sloppy mud and huge holes,although we found a tree had fell across the track at one point down it so we moved it as best as we could using tow ropes and got just enough room to squeeze past
got distracted and forgot to take photos though
also went through tealby and little cawthorpe fords while we were out.

a couple of updates.
got the new springs fitted

also made a sump/diff guard up aswell,its designed to be higher than the usual ones to protect the bottom of the radiator aswell.


also re made a snorkel for it quickly,now its well secured and follows the a pillar,aswell as being a bit higher up

unfortunately i snapped an inner cv at KORC


finally some random pics with my mk2 golf

[Edweird]

Nice truck. Liking the bulkhead and open back. Is that a gumball sticker on the bonnet of your golf?

[i_am_me]

yeah it is

[dazerede]

looks good mate

[i_am_me]

made a few changes recently so i though i would show you all,








new wheels,bucket seats,rear window,bullbars,mounted waffle boards,snorkel,towbar drop bracket, and painted my sump guard and bumpers.
still got work to do on the snorkel since it has been extensively modified to get it right,and i need to sand and paint the bullbars

[turbo-tom]

looking good however that snorkel looks a bit close to the edge of the arch anyways keep it up

[i_am_me]

its never good enough is it
it was either have it that close to the arch or a huge gap at the top because of the shape of the vitara wings,plus it covers up the old snorkel hole there aswell lol.

will look better when i have finished smoothing and shaping it and painted it black again.
