jimny rebuild and diesel conversion

Started today got old engine out and doors and that lot off ready to lift shell of and do all welding and finsh the pick up part what I startexnearly a year ago then left it will be uploding some pics soon of it chaging as work goes on just wwondering what axles to put on it I have a set of fourtrak f70 axles how hrd its it to convert them for coils instead of leafs

shouldnt be to hard just de bracket the axle and fab up the new brackets guess you could even sacrice the jimny case and save the jimny brackets just be a bit carfull about geometry of the axles when you refit and weld the brackets can get a bit complicated

Heres a few pics of what got done today

Some more pics here from whats been getting done last few Saturdays
