Hi to all!
First of all maybe I put this topic on wrong thread - for moderators feel free to move it where it belong. I heard about coil spring version of Samurai produced in Japan. I was rather surprised when came across one here in my country, didn't think that these versions ever came near Europe, obviously I was wrong. It is on sale as parts car since it went through serious damage of the body/shell. Chassis seems to be intact... Many differences are evident louvers/vents on bonnet, interior etc. Does anyone knows what is actually different on the suspension besides coils and its linkage, I mean would it be possible to swap coils onto regular leaf suspension to regular Samurai chassis and how difficult it would be? Any experience... Is it really big difference driving it since it still has rigid axles? Anyone have any documentation or technical drawing, manual for coily. Here are some pictures of actual car...

From the fixed position windscreen and the bonnet it looks like a late model japanese samurai
there are quite a few of them here in malta I think they are 1996-1998
Apparently it is quite hard to find the parts for them!
