right, so I didn't really bother with a build thread for the 89 plate as i was just adding bits here and there as I went along or as it broke.

last nite I picked up karis' 410 and with the help of my mate paul and his beaver tail transit we go her home safe and sound.

She's currently sitting outside my dads house awaiting an engine transplant and a tiny bit of welding. (thanks for doin the hard bits scott :thumbup: )

so before I crack on with the work I think I should list some aims.

1: I want it to be fairly practical. or as practical as an sj can be

2: strong. needs to be a tough lil beastie that can take some punishment.

3: it'll be used off and on road so I've got to try and not make it too off road bias.... well ish :thumbup:

4: I wanna keep her looking like an sj, albeit slightly modified. needs to keep the classic sj shape.

thats all I can think of really. ill hopefully get cracking tonite and whip it out.... the engine I mean :tongue:

watch this space :doublethumbs:

well that was a good selling point for me haha! as well as the seats. but I think the main reason was that this one is pretty much a blank canvas that I can crack on with and learn more about sj's and turn into my own creation.

the other one was a bit all over the place and I wanted to start fresh :thumbup:
