SJ413 - help with restoration project

Post by Allaboutthebass » Mon Aug 05, 2019 5:55 pm

Hi
I am a new Suzuki member and a relatively new Suzuki SJ owner
I bought a SJ410 Soft Top a couple of years ago and absolutely love it - I loved it so much I bought a SJ413 Hardtop as a restoration project
The car MOT expired 4 years ago and although its running its in need of some extensive welding to get through the MOT
Are you able to recommend a garage that could help me get the SJ back on the road, someone reliable that won't cost me a fortune?
I live in Leicester
Cheers CC

Buy a mug welder and mask and watch some videos on you tube and get cracking

Your be welding away for days

Normally getting some one else to do your welding that’s not a friend etc gonna cost you a pretty penny

As said. Spend a bit of cash on a reasonable welder, few you tube vids, practice on some scrap and crack on yourself.

I’m not amazing at it myself but it’s not too hard to get it to a reasonable standard.
