NEWBIE ALERT

[dunk]

Well newbie on this forum anyway My name's Duncan and i live in Worcestershire, some of you may know me from other forums and some of you aint got a clue who i am. I am one half of Muddyzook.com we do rear disc conversion, engine conversion plates for zukes and a few other shiney bits. Scottie posted up on the Muddyzook forum about this one, so i had a quick look through and it seems a freindly place devoted to the love of things Suzuki so i just had to join.

Anyhow here's my zuke as it was back in the day



Then i spent a hole load of money and time on it and turned it into this



Then i spent even more money and time on it and made this



And i loved it, it went and did all that i wanted it to. Then i broke it

[dunk]

Then i thought i have had enough of the nasty leaf spring ride on my old bones so i spent lots more money and what feels like most of my life on it then i ended up with this

[ScottieJ]

to Scuk Dunk. I'm sure you'll fit in here nicely! and I must say again I do love how your zuk has turned out. I bet you can't wait for its first trip out in the mud I know i cant wait to see it in action

[dunk]

Yeah i am looking forward to driving it as it been a work in progress now for two years. But i had a few plays in Zero to try to keep the mud lust at bay . I will be taking it to the two TOR events next year Scottie if you can make it this time :smoke:

[Russ24]

welcome to scuk.

and im really diggin your zuki....

like it was sucked into a black hole and came out the otherside a different creature.

[ScottieJ]

I've already started saving for the petrol and i'll be making sure the zuke isn't abused for at least a month before so that there is no way I miss it because of breakages :smoke:
Lets hope the plan works.

Are there any good sites up by you that you'll be going to when it's done?

[dunk]

I will be taking it to my buddy's farm, he's the one with the lightweight offroad build on Differs. He has a nice test track set out to test his mad creations on, with some real nice flexy bits. I think i will be testing my roll cage at the same time but that's what i built it for, it wont stay pritty for long. I may take it to Avon Dassett on one of there p&p days to give it a bit of a shake down.
