Suzuki Club UK

I like your throughness (is that a real word?), but every body i have worked has rotted out top and bottom if that step/hollow. I'm cutting it out and replacing it with single skin 1.5mm butt welded in.

As my bodywork skills are up to my usual high standards this will be topped with lashings of seam sealer, underseal and paint! Hides a multitude of sins.

Tbh if it wasn't being sold I probably would just replace it with some 2mm but I wanted to keep this one nice and tidy and looking original. Only reason I've done the VL is to make the repairs less time consuming and to get rid of the mud traps. The arches will be mounted at the original height as to look original and so all the plastics can be fitted, will be handy if the new owner ever wants to fit 31s though.

Gonna be a tidy motor for someone.

Hopefully never know if the blue sj goes it might be a tidy motor for me until the Lwb is done

Or if I've saved enough by then

If someone doesn't beat you to it, had a bit of interest in it

Got another hour or so on it tonight, had a few people pop up the workshop so didn't get much done.

What a nice finish Scott. Doesn't even look like you touched it!

Lookin real good!

Damn has it really been that long since I worked on this Zuki spent the last two days getting some work done, it needs to be finished and sold

The more I dig into this Suzuki the more rust I find, but I'm making progress.


Got the other rear arch cut out and almost fully welded up, with a few of the usual rust repairs around the fuel filler.






Inner wing was pretty rusty so while doing the VL I cut n shut a "better" inner wing onto it.




Started trimming the bulkhead


Then got the other side started and trimmed the bulkhead. Gonna be a busy few evenings this week making more filler panels and welding it all up.

I think I said nice and rust free at one point. Oops.
