Learner in Leeds

Post by AntD » Mon Apr 07, 2014 12:52 pm

Hey all,

Got my SJ as a Summer project, want a road going fun truck. Never done much in terms of heavy mechanics aside from minor jobs on my cars (up to about brake pad changes) so wanted something fun for off and on road that I could have a go at learning some restoration on.

This is my little SJ -

Nice truck, very similar to mine.

As you are close, do you fancy "learning" on Sunday at Tong?
