Hi All,
My names Nick but everyone calls me Derik. Im from Wootton Bassett, just outside Swindon. Had my little SJ a couple of months now and having lots of fun on the lanes.
So within the first 3 weeks of having my SJ the carb gave up and after a couple of re-build attempts I drop kicked it over the back fence and got myself an SU. ( Best £100 Ive ever spent )
It came with most of the mods, Winch, Roll cage, Bucket seats, Lift shackles, The most chavvy snorkel, which was my first fix, and a square steering wheel???
Already found some great info on the site, thanks guys, and im sure to need much more of it.

Re: Hi All
Hi there, welcome
Nice looking zook. Great info here. It didnt take long before i fitted an su carb too as the standard carb gave up.
I like the lil storage box in the engine bay and the way the winch has been fitted still keeping the original bumper.
Smart.

Re: Hi All
Hi guys,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Yes I've heard how bad the shackles are but they will have to wait until I can afford a decent lift, then bigger wheels!
Your right Donkeychomp, I changed the steering wheel a couple of weeks ago for the round one pictured lol
The bumper and winch where on it when I got her but the ends are quite rotten so going to have a go at making some new bumpers when I get some free time.
Nice to see a fellow Bassettier, I'm sure to need some help so nice to know there are some locals.
