Suz1 or 2uzi?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

It's nowhere near too far gone to restore, I had a good look over it at wagtail. Next year I'll have loads of space in my workshop so you'd be welcome to bring it down here for a week and I'd help you sort it.
That would be awesome. Thanks Scottie. :salute:
Plan devised. Keep it! Sure this could be tied into some cider fuelled laning.

Is that your mind made up? You have had me in turmoil all day! I love your Suzuki and if you didn't want it I would be obliged to buy it, although of course my body work skills are poor at best so maybe I wouldn't be the best owner for it!

Pity you are miles away...I'd come and do the body work for you. Please don't make the mistake I did and sell it.
If it ticks over...leave it

I got mine cheap as the body work was fubar'd. Bodged it up. Got 4 years out of it. Now it's time for more bodging!

This is beginning to sound awfully like a plan.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

If (when) I get mine through its mot next month I think this sounds like a perfect excuse to head south to offer no advice on body repair and drink cider!
