Number 2 arrived the other day, had to get it towed to my house due to the engine not working, neither do the brakes, it makes towing a bit tricky on a rope, nearly wiped back end of my mates escort out! Shes a lovely samurai, was gonna break it but after giving it a good look over decided id restore it instead. Already pulled engine out changed water pump, head gasket timing belt and clutch, fitted a weber to it and she sounds mint. Took rear axle off it and started to re paint it black but thats as far as ive got so far, its like the flintstones car, u know put your feet thru the floor and run along with it, still im sure me and the mig can fix that!

I like that front bumper, I saw one like it in a magazine, it was a Aussie SJ and I thought it looked good, I like it, what's the plan? Run it on the road or off road monster?

I like that very much, especially that bumper. there's a company on this side of the globe called ali arc. they build a lot of custom bumpers and also have a range of aftermarket bumpers, looks just like one of them
