The wheels are all black apart from the spare which I will paint. It needs a new tyre on it really.

It does roll a bit on the road and is very soft/bouncy offroad.

Needs a new front bumper, keeping an eye out for one.

The front reg plate is on a big sheet of metal, not sure why exactly, it was like that when i bought the car. The plan is to replace it with a square reg plate once i get a new bumper.

Mods are:

3" Rhino Rays
2" Offroad Armoury body lift
5" Llama braided lines
ARB removed
215/80/15 Insa Turbo Sahara Tyres

Was told the wheels are made by Weller, not sure the exact size of them.

They look like 7x15 with a 20% off set,the spare looks like an old suzuki sj 410 wheel 6x15.

Looks like a properly done 1 !
if you can drive at 50mph and the roll isnt too bad I would just accept it..... my standard one is scary enough at 50 lol

yeah 50mph is fine once it gets there. They could certainly do with a bit more power. A td engine would be ideal.

Im just used to turbo charged engines now, havent driven an N/A for about 5 years.
