Project Sink or Swim

Awesome!
Back in 2001 I worked on some pleasure boats and we had a WW2 Dukw as our support vehicle so I love amphibious stuff!

Ha ha as much I love a DUKW its not going to fit in the man cave, I cant afford 90k on a GPW amphihibous world war 2 Jeep so the Surf is a good compromise!

Haha I'm not surprised.... Bit out of my budget too!
Sadly when the business went bust in about 2004 they sold the Dukw for silly, silly cheap money

Well the 4:30 am start and 400 mile round trip, was well worth it! The Jimny is great, the interior is immaculate, engine is like new! I can see the evidence of the repair to the front passenger side but I'm not worried about that, as I more interested in the mechanics. Everything appears to be working including the 4x4.

Almost seems a shame to strip it, but its going to a good cause!

Compared to my other Jimny trialer this one feels like driving a luxury Merc, with its quiet suspension, leather, carpet and air conditioning!

Few photos from Copart this morning!

Yeah looks really good looking forward to reading about the next step, it's a great colour :woohoo:

Looks a nice motor. Going to watch your progress. Good luck with it.
