my sj is not very special

Post by BabySuzi » Sat Nov 15, 2014 1:04 pm

Greetings all

Got a 410 in september, supposed to be a bit of fun, a project but it's turned into a daily for my girlfriend.
Nevermind
Still standard (except i've removed the front bumper to straighten but it was too rusty and the bolts broke). The first one came off alright but I couldn't get it back on and now the indicators are held on with tie-wraps.

I had the bonnet off because I was tidying the rust :thumbdown: it's riddled

I had the axle jacked out of the way trying to get one of the bushes out with a bfh :argh: didn't get it, needed extra tooling from work

I had the roof off because it was a nice day and I hadn't taken it off before :thumbup:
