Picking up another Sj at the weekend

Post by dazerede » Thu Jan 23, 2014 11:34 am

Just bought another Sj I think it is a samurai convertable with a 1.6 it has a exsternall rollcage dimand back tyres rusty and has new dimand back tyres but they might be pereshed and front drivers side spring is snapped it has the calmini bumarang 2" shackles on the front and 2" calmini straight shacles on the rear also has a momo steering wheel radiators at the back

Plan is to put rollcage on mine and go from there I don't think it has a v5
I bought it for £60 more than scrap value :)

sounds like a bargain, get some pictures up when you collect it, always nice to see new trucks in any condition!

I keep thinking about buying another SJ with a 1.6 in it and stripping it and having the engine, then sell the rest of the parts, not sure though, wouldn't do it to a good one though

It has a v5

Plan is to break it and keep the good parts as I don't have no money to repair it so not sure yet I shall have a look at it
It is being delivered Tmoz so pics will be soon

Ye I hope it is a 1.6 and if it starts and sounds nice I will have it fory 410
I only bought it for the rollcage tbh

Don't break it if its as good as you said!! I"ve got fully caged vit engine Sammy that's been hiding in back of shed for two years, but one day it will be done.! Not many trucks left now.

I might sell it on but it has no v5 so if the engine runs I will put my spare springs on it and see how it drives
