I'm guessing it's a temporary daily driver until you get the SJ on a new chassis?

Unfortunately not.... its just a cheap runabout for the mrs
Lovely 3-pot f8d engine

... but the clutch has just gone!
Fortunately I got it off a friend who will take it back, or give a discount for the clutch change

It looks and sounds as designed and as well built as a pug :yuk:

Its not actually too bad to drive, for a shoe box!
Its quite good here for the tiny parking spaces and narrow roads

Fortunately as well its about fisher-price level of difficulty working on it...
Got the mangled clutch out really easily!

Gonna get a nice new clutch tomorrow... bargain price of £40

The car as it stands now...
