Probably yes, but I just thought, why not just start as my rental of the shed had started, it's already split and I already have one.maverick wrote: Holy Moly ... might've been easier to buy a decent donor Jimny Body ... awesome thread though

Definitely Roger. Plus, I enjoy taking things apart. Learned a few new skills along the way.Roger Fairclough wrote: It's as much about the satisfaction.

Did a few jobs this weekend:
- primed x4 and topcoated x2 on swivel joints
- dismantled rusted A/C unit and cleaned it up. No idea if it works, but it's back together again. Perhaps a job for another day.
- primed, painted and stone chipped fuel tank with gravitex
- ordered stainless jubilees for fuel tank
- made some brackets for the handbrake and ABS sensors on the rear
