Serviced, YJ bushes fitted to springs.

It fired up no bother given it hasn't run for 4 months. Still sounds sweet as a nut.

Even rinsed it down.

That's just plain evil, rinsing it down, its alike to skinning it alive :-) good to hear it still runs nice, onwards and upwards now
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Still loads to do.

Mainly all the torque settings and bearing adjustment. Handbrake, brakes all round, shock mounts, steering damper. Few other bits and pieces.
