Dan's Suzuki Samurai build

[dan_2k_uk]

They are from boltonbits on ebay.

They are the 135mm ones.

E marked, Fully sealed/resin filled, really bright, and a 5 year guarantee.

The quality is superb which is whats making me want the matching reverse/fog lights.

They are made by this company http://ledautolamps-uk.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They are in the compact combination lamps section.

Just had a spot of luck whilst browsing a breakers on my lunch break and found a 410 with a mint windscreen. £30 and 5 mins later its all wrapped up in the back of my van.

Got everything sorted to get her waterproof now.

Weather permitting I might get her back together this weekend.

Had a good weekend of work.

Have been steadily painting bits and pieces in my Dads garage for the past week or so.




Spent most of yesterday taking down the gazebo and tidying up the mess left behind then spent the evening fitting the new screen and all the hardware






Then today re-fitted the door seals and glass and got stuff back on the truck. (All fitted with stainless allen headed screws for easy removal in the summer )




Finally its waterproof!!!!

looking good now , what about giving the wheels a quick splash of satin black would look pretty swish then

Nice work Dan, its a good feeling when it starts to look like an SJ again

Why don't you mod the hinges so you can just lift the doors off? Then you just have to unsure the door strap and it takes 2 seconds to lift them off.

Yead it feels great. Cant wait to give it a test run sometime this week.

Its pretty quick when you dont have to fight with rusty crossheads and I was going to make up some wing mirrors that bolt onto the holes left behind by the top hinge.

I might give the wheels a lick of paint but it will probably be one of the last things I do.

That looks great. I'd love a set of 5 spoke alloys for my truck, but I can't find any 5.5" x 15" five studs with a big enough hole in the middle.
