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
Think iv got some welding to be doing Ah yeah and its gone behind the front lights
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
Aye.. was only thinking about the rear seats.. forgot about the rear body mounts .. ah well il have to pull a sheet of 2mm out of the rack and get cracking , also started making a jig up for a pair of tubed front radius arms
Finshed the headgasket today and thought id take it out for a quick shakedown :whistle: Did find out that the 4wd doesnt work which could be down to the vacuum front hubs so got to check that out but she flexes well for a stocker.. well the front arb has been removed
