Kiwizook's resto
Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2012 8:37 pm
This is my beautifull new pickup
It's a sj410, mostly stock standart.
The carburettor has issues at the moment which I am trying to sort out.
I already replaced the cv joint's, and replaced the knuckle joint seals. I also checked and cleaned all the brakes, and put on a new handbrake cable which cost me a sad $95
I am currently planning to restorate it, and keep it mostly stock standart as is. I have started to cut some of the rust out of the bodywork. The floor pans are buggered, and the cab has some rust on it too. the fuel tank supports are rotted real bad, so will also need replacing. The corners of the bumper were rotted out too, so i'm working on welding a new bumper.
here's some pics of the damage i have done so far
- my truck in it's not so full glory
