Thanks for all of the welcomes.
Twiss I must admit I do like it black, but it does need some TLC so I am considering painting it one panel at a time. But then if I'm going to do that I suppose I can have any colour I want. I think I'll concentrate on playing for now and see how I feel in a couple of months.
ScottieJ this is technically not my first offroader as I bought a tintop SJ413 last year, but due to the amount of rust and rot, my inability to weld and my impulsive nature when I saw this black one for sale, I have decided to give up on the tintop and use it for spares.
Consiquently that is now in pieces in the garage - filled with all of the crap that will now no longer fit in the garage - while my new SJ proudly sits on the drive (hopefully it will actually fit in the garage - I have yet to check that out lol), securely blocked in by my girlfriend's car. Meanwhile my car is at my mum's house because I do not have any garage or drive left.
So if anyone needs advice on how to upset the family, please feel free to ask
