looks like rot in the usual places, body looks reasonable and definitely withing the bounds of repairs, can't see much of the chassis though, is probably a lot worse?!
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

So basically the KJA chassis that you bought was a total waste of time ??? its a shame as it was the chassis that you had been after,just hope it did not cost alot of wonga.Hope you find a decent on soon.

Just stripped it, bed and cab is completely fucked. It's all filler.

Il add some pics, its genuinly bad this car was on the road in the last 2 years.

Jesus this is rotten. Don't think the bed is usable at all.
