Countryboy's Jimny - Update New Pics - 08.10.12

Hmm didn't know that.

There's tens of thousands of cars with non airbag after market steering wheels - i'll wait and see what they do

All in, the Steering wheel + boss cost £70 so not worth crying about should i have to mess about come mot time :whistle:

well if thay come near me thay will fail even better if the lights on at the end of the day who cares what it look like id rather servive a crash

When I ground them out they turned into gaping holes which would have got worse if I hadnt sorted them. The ones around the rear seatbelt mounts turn into MOT failures if your not careful.

Mind you awful job to weld cos really you need to remove the fuel tank for safety first

dont remove it just fill it. petrols fumes are flamable. if also very unlikely it will explode as the fuel to air mixture would need to be perfect and in a full tank it is impossible to have the correct amout of air in there to be explosive or even flamable really unless you cut a hole in it a catch the fuel flowiing out on fire.

To save money on calipers try www.biggred.co.uk Refurb kits are cheap and easy to fit.

or a bit of weld or spark drops on to a plastic fuel line and melts a hole in it iv had a fuel tank explode in my face and i wasnt welding or smoking it was in a jag tank is in the boot and i was testing wireing and there was a spark and bang it went its not nice trust me ever since then if im welding near a tank it comes out no mater how long it takes and gets placed out side well out of my way

Been Gone For A While But I'm Back..

Family Issues Have Stopped Me In My Tracks Recently But Most Of The Problems Are Sorted Now. I Did Have Doubts Past Few Weeks About Selling Up (You May Have Seen It On Ebay) But I Love It Far Too Much To Let It Go For A Couple Of K's - Plus I've Had A Few Probs With It And I'm Not In The Game Of Ripping People Off.

So That Said Here's How It Stands At The Minute:
