Might have a new plan? What do you lot reckon?! :)

Post by mike harris » Sun Jan 27, 2013 5:34 pm

Hello,

Right I am starting to get bored of my suzuki. I know what your all going to say but I just am lol !!

So I was thinking, de modify mine slightly, keep it spoa as of all the shock mounts and stuff. And rob all of the parts of it and bolt them to a kja.

But first I was going to buy a kja and restore it like my samurai. blast all the body and paint everything, renew every nut and bolt. Same as mine.

This way il either end up with a restored kja, and my samurai, or a modded kja and my samurai but less modded.

See what I mean?

Mike

Buy the KJA and get on with the restoration. See how it goes.

I like the overall idea but i'm not sure about robbing the parts off your Samurai to build the KJA.

Try not to do such a good job on the resto this time, makes the rest of us look amateur.

Cheers

This one

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewit ... 8545951669

It's a tad over priced. For £2500 it should be immaculate. I paid no where near that for mine and it's in pretty good nick.

That black one looks good and solid. Comes at a price tho. I only paid £180 for mine from my local scrappy. And I was the second owner from New :mrgreen:

Yeh that's the one.

If I do this il nick everything of mine and sell the shell and chassis. That makes more sense, and I can sell the running gear from the kja.
