starting this thread to show the restoration of my jimny after a long time in the driveway. about a month ago I changed the oil and put new plugs in. The engine was running nicely so decided to progress.
Will add some photos later tonight.

the early stages of the engine bay before taking brackets off, wire brushing and grinding (good to have a pillar drill)
its not just paint. did an oil change and put new spark plugs in, the engine was running sweet as ever, so it gave me the push to carry on with the car.

got a few more photos for tomorrow, but need to get them in order.
painted the tank and protector.
painted the underfloor that the tank was hiding with silver hammerite yesterday after I had attacked it with the wire brush on the grinder.
covered it with white stone chip today.
my aim is to have a nice protective paint job underneath, unfortunately my aim is not very good :laugh:
seriously I will finish off the chassis painting and brackets tomorrow
