Just back from the powdercoaters...

ORA winch bumper 'coated in "Silky Silver" to match the rest of the lower half of my "o2" Jimny...

Gagging to get on with the build! Hopefully onto it this weekend...

Made a start...

Stripped the rear seats and carpet out, which gave me room to...

Sketch the roll hoop that the ORA are bending up for me...

Intended feet positions, so that I can bolt through the floor to sandwich plates underneath...

And stripped the front suspension out - castor corrected radius arms (in the for sale section!), 2" lift springs, shocks, panhard... all ready for new ones going in soon... strip the rear soon too, time and weather permitting!

Went out to collect a few bits last weekend -

Blog link above... even took the new red GV for a quick trip over Houndkirk Moor on the way to pick up -

Rockwatt built transfer box collected from Sponnie

and then a trip over to see the man himself to pick up a bucket mount for it

Thanks for the tea too gents!

And thursday night was a bit quiet in my (real) shop, and I had the iPad and a can of Stella to hand, so started browsing - as you do - and ended up buying a new reg for the Jimny...
