Re: Fwb's SJ410 Build
you're in parmy right? let me know what you have left over, I might have to come over for some of it!
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Re: Fwb's SJ410 Build
Yeah palmy will be a while yet but prob won't have a lot left over as I didn't get much zook in the first place. But yeah should have most of the heater unit and it doesn't leak as was still connected obviously I have bypassed it now since its in a box in the Shed
The combination swith seems to work but I didn't have indicators etc so can't confirm. Wasn't much in the way of a interior but have some stuff on the front door because if I decide to use them I won't need the winder units or anything like that.
Progress today was good got the passengers side floor and will cut out. Ready to make another new sill. Hopefully my makeshift folder holds together

Re: Fwb's SJ410 Build
well after mucking around and browsing the forum for too long this evening i decided to venture out to the garage and actually do some work.
Managed to cut, fold and semi weld into the place the passengers side sill. Also managed to fully weld the drivers side floor and body mount back into place.
What do you guys think of my custom body mount??
also picked this lil bueaty up at the weekend for $80nzd

Re: Fwb's SJ410 Build
Finally it's starting to look like a truck again. Unfortunately I haven't done any work on the truck for a while have been working on the house instead. Decided to drag the body back out from the back of the shed and got a fair amount done today. Unfortunately I have a mates Nissan safari to rebuild the brakes on tomorrow so no sj will be done

Re: Fwb's SJ410 Build
Managed to get most of the passengers side sorted. Trimmed wheel arches. Just a bit of grinding and cleaning up to do.
On a good note brought a 413 rolling chassis yay spare parts. Can now put disks on the rear. Fix my suspension. And a few other bits cost me $200 nz so about 80quid approx

Re: Fwb's SJ410 Build
To be honest there still isn't it sits like that still. Been too busy. Moving this weekend to a new place really looking forward to having a better workshop.
Can anyone tell from my last pic what engine it is?

Looks like it should be a g16 8v on carb. Either find a 413/samurai gearbox to run with it or remove the Vit tbox and mod the vitara gearbox to run that mated to your Sj tbox.
