John's samurai code named rusty as ****

[ScottieJ]

Thought I'd start a little build thread for John's Sj (12callum)

So this is what we have started with



And then we went on the hunt for rust















Then I started repairing it

[ScottieJ]

90x90x3.6mm box section sills


The box section is tied into the body mounts with 4mm plate and all the holes filled in


At this point I was going to try and re-use the panel that I removed but it would have needed so much patching I thought I'd just start from scratch





And now it's time to start the virtual lift and bulkhead.









And that's where 38hrs work gets you

Will carry on with the updates as I progress

Hunt was successful then.

Damn fine welding there, what's the plans for the wee beastie?

[ScottieJ]

Cheers matey

Think johns plan is a 1.6 8v spi, YJs spua, he just bought a trail tough YJ kit and has the springs already...and 33s

Should be a good little SJ once it's finished.

[donkeychomp]

I'm sure it will be. Looking forward to more pics!

[ScottieJ]

Bulkhead finished and welds smoothed




Body is coming off next weekend for welding underneath, to prime and underseal. Hopefully will have the front clip VL done over a few evenings this week.

Re paint it'll prob end up some wierd dayglo... but I happen to have a sami grille that exact blue, good nick too.
Contractually it's still the property of Mr Harris but could be sorted.
