Suzuki Club UK

Floors finished now, working on the roof. Bare in mind I've only got a few hrs here and there, so the old mans chipping in now and again stopping parts offhere and there, I'm hoping he remembers what goes where, it's mainly cos it's in his garage and he can't leave things alone. Think it reminds him of when he used to rebuild minis lol

coming on nicely its nice to see a dropside lwb being restored.

Would be nice to get a original back for it but I haven't come across one yet. Other wise will try and build some thing similar. Done a bit more today, found loads of rot above the drivers door that I had to replace.

Phone darren at KAP Suzuki, he had a load of brand new dropside beds, not sure if he still does and I doubt they will be cheap but its always worth giving them a call

Nice one. I tried ringing them but no answer so I've emailed them about it. Would be nice to have a original one. Don't hold my hopes up much tho. I like the look of the red truck in the foreground.

It's a bloke from difflocks jimmy, I think he said its a custom made drop side, keep up the good work its nice to see it coming back to life.

I seen a green jimmy on their website, fair play they look nice.

It's coming together, got round to checking the chasis out last night, need 4 new shocks, all wheel bearings doing, all new brake lines.

Any one know how the wheel bearings work, would be nice to have a idea before I start taking them apart.

Dont worry, darrell will be along soon and he will have a diagram! The front wheel bearings are dead easy to replace so I wouldn't worry about that

That would be handy. just like to know how things work before hand. Cheers

There's a wealth of info on sj axles in one of the stickies sj axle info and also rear wheel bearing write up in the DIY section matey
