:welcome2: to :suzuki: clubUK matey

Nice work with the tintop, looks like you've been busy. only thing i'd do is trim the front of the front arches up to the bottom of the front wings, would look a bit cleaner I think :thumbup:

Front Bumper is now fitted and paj seats are now in very comfortable now :)
drivers mirror is fitted and all door hinges adjusted so now the doors shut perfectly.
All lights working apart from headlight bulbs are blown but dont know where i can get them from...

have got engine problems now shes smoking a lot so need to do the valve seals but not sure if shes done 93,000 miles or 193,000 miles so will be doing a compression test to see if the engine is worth keeping as it rattles aswel so if anyone has a 410 engine for sale let me know...

left to do:
rear brake pipes
NSR wheel cylinder to change
new NS side repeater
new engine / engine rebuild
carb clean and rebuild

here are some piccies :)
