Re:Aussie 2006 Jimny - 4" lift, 30" BFGs, cool wheels

Got a bit more painted today

Looking good mate. Have you decided to sell those wheels to me and post them to the UK yet?

If you don't ask you don't get!

Think you could pack them on that very nice roof rack!! I'll go half on the p+p kirkynut :woohoo: :woohoo:

Looks great how did you paint the lower half ? Properly sprayed ? Or spray cans ?

Great jimny!! Just read all 25 pages in one sitting, fantastic pics and scenery too. Great car, great mods, big thumbs up from me.

Thanks NineCherries
Gaz I used acrylic aerosols, 5x300gram plus 3x400gram primer and 2x400gram gloss clear coat. I'm going to give it a final rub and another clear coat.

One from the weekend, had a bit of fun on the quiet country roads, 1.8L is awesome on the open road

posted on the fb page, but would love some pictures of how you've fitted your mud flaps. i'm hoping to chop the rear bumper as you have & maybe have the exhaust exiting on the left hand side (will be far easier & cheaper as i'll be able to do myself with a hotdog or cherry bomb). thanks.

Decals done, transformation complete

Awesome!

How do you keep it from being scratched to hell like mine is? Mine's past polishing out. If I used a machine polisher on it I'd run out of paint before I got my scratches out!

Silver must be more forgiving than black but nonetheless!

My old Jimny was black and showed everything. When it was clean and polished it looked great. Black in sub-tropical Brisbane was not great either. Silver is awesome at looking good even when it's not been washed for months, the only way I know it's filthy is by the brake dust on the rims. Changing the colour of the plastics was a great opportunity to get rid of some scratches.

In typical Zukenutter style I've scored a set of 15x7 0 offset Bathurst Globe alloys for my nephews Zuk. They're in pretty shabby condition but will clean up well, not bad for $100 for 5 rims



His Sierra is coming together well now, need to weld up a few more holes in the floor, reinforce the accelerator pedal, finish the panel work, then put it all together and take it for a test run.



Recovery point for the Jimny and with some luck some HD steps later today.
