My latest common sense failure (sorry Jordi!)

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

It was a mask up and spray job, not entirely sure why he decided my bumpers should be red. I'd prefer them black, and I may yet take them off and paint them black. I didn't pay to have the bumpers restored, and they were in a fairly sorry state, so I'm ok with him having restored and painted them as it makes the job of painting them black much easier, if I ever get around to it.

The interior still needs a bit of work though. I need new front seats, or to get the current ones restored, and a new dash clock would be good.

Anton is that your old SJ that came along green laning in Surrey? Looks brilliant! I have a set of wider alloys if you're interested... :lol:

No, that one is gone, unfortunately. This one's always been in fairly good condition, so I decided to pull off the 31's, un-SPOA it and do a snorkel delete. I have to sort out the seats though, they're in pretty bad shape.

I'm trying to get the wee beastie to show car standards. So far she's had a thorough rust treating (lots of new metal in the rear arches), then full undersealing, and a new paint job.

She's pretty close now.
