I chopped mine back 2inch and did a bit of a virtual lift on the bulkhead at the same time

Yup. Its already had that.
Its only fouling on the bottom corner of the sills so i'm just gonna cut them at an angle. Should sort it / make it usable for wiltshire.

I miss it already! Roll on friday.
Feels a lot more solid driving it now, think the tyres may be over inflated.

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
I've just been flicking through all my photos on my phone. When i first painted the Zuk it looked quite good, reasonably well painted and put together.
It looks quite sad now. I must get the bodywork tidied up as soon as the oily bits are done after the MOT.
