jimny pickup finaly getting finished

Nice job Doc
Like Lambert not a fan of this colour
British Racing Green for me

hi guys
thanks for your comments, I under stand the colour is a personal choice and green is not a popular colour as well, its not very often I do any green cars. but having said that I was hoping to attract the farmers/ gamekeepers and country sett with these little trucks.
will have to see what the future brings when its for sale.
I will keep posting post, as we are trying to get all the body parts painted today so in and out the paint booth like a mad man at the moment

Speaking as a farmer the colour is irrelevant compared with the value for money and quality of build which obviously is top notch. The hunting and shooting set round here are very big on image and they will queue up for the right colour, they also seem to like showing off their wealth too.

Well that’s a full repaint done in a day apart from outside of the doos and bonnet
We ain’t found a way to do both sides at once as yet, so that can be tomorrow’s job
Off home now for some well earned cans
All the best guys have a good night

I actually quite like the colour, it looks similar to the Jungle Green they di on the Gen4, having said that if they were side by side I bet they are miles apart in shade. Looks a top job.

I would love to have this kind of thing done if I had the cash. Not bothered about the pick up, but to know the whole car has been sorted to this kind of level. Looks superb.

I'm so happy to have just the underside done, I know now that the money I keep putting in to the car is not going to be wasted.

Most of us on the forum will have spent money resolving the issue's that a Jimny suffers with some age. Bearings, bushes, springs, shocks, all seem to want doing at 50k+. If like me, you replaced those worn parts with uprated components, the money you have in the car creeps up & up.

I didn't mind too much, my enjoyment of the car crept up in the same way, I still had a smile on my face. My 3k car stood me to nearly 6k and was worth only 3k in good condition. To find that you've inadvertently spent that money on a bad shell, one you believed to be sound, is a blow....

Investing further in a restoration, was the only real way out but that has its traps..... Not with these guys, they actually deliver what they say they will and more. At budget, on time.

Speak to them about a similar restoration on your car me101, you might be surprised.......

Once the house gets finished, I may have a chat with them. Car currently on stands, so thought I'd get some underseal in the arches. While under there, I have now made some holes that need welding! Will see how it all ends up, but I've made a note of who did your work, looks excellent!

Excellent work Jimny Dr & Reece, !!!

Hi guys
Just done the last three panels
All body parts now done and looking forward to the assembly.
Waiting for Reece now with the chassis, but it might be a while as he’s sat at home eating his way through half a ton of chocolate
Have a safe day guys

Looks great, when I win the lottery I'm booking the jimny in
