I could quite happily go out into the garage now. I so desperately want it drivable and to hear what it sounds like now i got the exhaust to fit the manifold again!

good work jordi! looks like you're really cracking on now. she'll be even better at the end of the week than at the start!
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
So after a day of rectifying my dumbass mistake it now drives again.
I collected my gearbox bolt from suzuki and the gear lever is nice and tight now.
I'm opting for a "new" front end too as mine is quite badly mangled in places.
