New member from Essex

Post by TACS » Mon Dec 30, 2013 2:04 am

Hi everyone my names tom, im 18 years oldand I'm from Basildon in Essex. i have a 1987 Suzuki SJ410 which me and my dad bought when I was about 12 or 13 years old and did a few things to it such as respray, seats out a Suzuki jimmy i believe they are and couple other little bits. I paid £100 for it as a non runner due to just the starter motor but I've loved it since the day it first got dropped to my house from and old friend of my dads. Just wondered if there were any other SJ410's around this way or others if so hopefully have a meet up and that. Thank you all

Tom

Wow! That 410 looks fan-fucking-tastic! Very nice. I wish I could afford to restore mine like that.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

It does look really clean, I like the roof rack too. I always wanted an 87 hard top 410, is it the plastic or the metal type dash?

I'm pretty sure that because it's an '87 it'll be a type 3, which means a plastic dashboard.

Either way 87's the year I want as it's the year I was born, it's got to be pretty awesome to say 'this car is as old as me'

:welcome: that is spotless, Mines a 1987 and has plastic dash, but no where near as clean or original as that! It won't be worth £100 anymore that's for sure
