Rolling project erm..... was created by Mister Stu
Iv been after a Jimny for ages and after scowering every possible classified ad site in the known universe to come up with one within the budget i set myself, i found this one on the bay and picked it up for a song

Went through it today and got a good idea of what it needs..
-Head gasket
-A fair bit of welding

Made a start stipping out any unwanted stuff

In the next couple of weeks tbe whole boot floor/seat pan will be getting cut out and replaced with a nice sheet of 6mm aliuminium as its never going to have seats in the back again and its also going to have a toolbox mounted behind the seats

How do you intend fixing it in last time i tryed welding alloy and steel it didnt work lol

On the mot side of it if you want a proper mot it will have to be a continuouse weld all the way round on rivits no screws nuts bolts etc to pass as it falls within a prescribed area of front seat belt mounts and rear body mounts and body mounts rear of the front doors for an inadequate repair
