Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
Painting is off the cards now as the new front end is to repair, virtual lift and fit.
It's having an identity crisis now.
It's a Samurai. Body work could be off any SJ variant, 1600 vit engine, jimny bits now. And to confuse it even more i'm gonna bang a 410 front end on it!

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
I was thinking "i have loads of time to sort the niggly bits out". MOT is due July 7th. When i'm away, so i'll have to so it before hand. 4 weeks max to get the little bits done and another MOT.
Easy!
Easy!

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
Its garden tomorrow i'm afraid Anton.
I need a good weekend to get it sorted for MOT. Think i may have resolved the brake fluid and power steering fluid leaks.
Bodywork is going to be the issue. I might cheat and get the front clip sand blasted. Then its rust free and saves me a load of time cleaning it up.

That's not cheating, that's prodigious use of time.

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
It'll save a lot of time as well as being done really properly, so probably no more rust coming back in a hurry, which would be nice for you in the future
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Just phoned Adrian Flux to notify them of the new mods. Insurance hasn't changed a penny!

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
New front clip hasn't been shot blasted.
33s and 15x10s still aren't fitted to each other.
Handbrake is still useless.
Still haven't mixed n' matched a good set of doors.
Still haven't seviced it since i fitted 1.6. (Probably should but i topped the oil up and its not leaking)
Overall i wasted 2 days of my 3 day weekend.
Well done me!

Re: Jordi's 1988 Samurai Build
I must have been 24 ish when i insured it with them first time round. Declared all mods and it was about £330 i think. It's only come down to about £270 now.suzukisteve wrote:jordi, are adrian flux fairly good for younger drivers? im 25 in December which will help with insurance but just curious as to which insurer will be the best. its due around the September October time I think so ive got a while yet
My KJA is standard and insured with 2Gether for £139 i think.
Both policys are limited mileage. The Samurai is insured for laning and P&P too.
Just a case of ring around bud.
