What did you do to your jimny today?

So this week was an expensive one with dual rear wheel bearing replacements and front king pins sorted also! But when your odo reads this...

...they're probably well overdue!

Strewth, you did well then. :ohmy:

Yup it has done well mate, new engine at 100k means it should go for a while longer.

I might have a look see at doing that - I did not think of fitting them to there myself - I did not think outside the box!

I may have a plan for rear speakers in a different position though!

Watch this space eh!

when I was looking at places for rear speakers there were a few places I thought about. I took the back seats out so I could pull all the panels out of the back. There were probably 4 places that speakers could go, but I chose the rear door because it'd be easier and out of the way.

Halford, just so you know, if you went any bigger than 5.25", you'd risk having them interfere with your foot & pedals. I've seen some people go 6", but because they're a deeper speaker, they poke out more and can get in the way.

RE the air horn. A mate gave it to me told me to try it out. I did. It's ok. My only issue with it is that I realized after I installed it that I blocked my access to the head lights. SO that'll be fin when I need to change a bulb.

New air filter in today! I think was one that was in there was the original from 2008!! it was very dirty.

So!
After sitting under my bench for well over two years, nearer three, I dragged Rocky 147 out onto the bench, gave him a scrub and a coat of Rustolium satin black (more like gloss).

After I'd started, It struck me that I never take pictures so, out with the Desire and clickety click!

I know some won't like the result but then again, until I turn Jim over in a ditch, :woohoo: presuming I ever get him finished, only me, a MOTer, nobody will see it.

So here you go.....


More or less, BEFORE....

After....

Looks good, thank you for sharing.

Fitted some (free) Hella Comet's and an extra waterreservoir for the screenwash!

I cut out all the rot from the boot floor and under the back seats and welded in patches just need to paint and under seal it.

It looks alright to me but I wouldn't have painted the flange as it might affect its ability to drive, you'll end up driving the prop with the bolts.
