finally finished welding my sj, put bracing under the floor for more strength and fixed rear seats thru this too, seats seem to be well solid now, gave it a good old coat of schutz, it may delay the rust worm for a bit. Got a weber carb and had to make an adapter plate to mount it to the manifold, i wasnt going to pay 40 odd quid for 1 when i had a bit of steel knocking about! while on with that i made an air box adapter so i could use my standard one, engines running best as i can get it, top ends tappin like mad, think it needs a top end re-build but ill have to see how it goes. Booked mot for half 8 tomorrow, last 1 ran out in 2010, keepin my fingers crossed, with a bit of luck i mite be all legal by this time 2moz!
