Body lift - I did that to mine. And un-did that to mine. Yuk.

Welcome, and good on you for rescuing the wee beastie.

So started accessing damage today and is slightly worse than I thought!
The winch is broken with cable fully out when pushing the controls the control box just clicks? Any ideas?
Whole rear left hand arch and side is rusted very badly
Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew!
Won't let me upload pictures straight from my phone!
Will upload to laptop later

Hi and welcome. Yeah I remember that.

If you're lucky the winch will just be a bad connection in the solenoid pack.

done lots of inspecting working out what needs doing and my god can't believe how quick a car can get ruined in such a small amount of time!

hopefully i can get a few pointers from all you more experienced zuki owners!
