we're seeing some really good photography here, many thanks ;)

look forward to loads of pics

don't forget to put the car slightly to the right of the image, and 1280 x 770 pixels is the ideal size for my desktop :lol:

New page, new pictures.

Was out visiting a mate in gateshead, when i saw a decent photo opportunity.

Then just recently, after the post I made about crossing my first ever ford,
I got home to realise that my number plate must be downstream.

So another photo with a flush looking front end.

I have sent away my retention certificate to put my private plate on anyway, so waiting on that turning up!
Enjoy...

Here we go again...

I won a set of original steel wheels on ebay, and went to pick them up... Alnwick here we come!
Made a day of it and had a good trip out and explored a few lanes aswell.

The wheels are in need of a good refurb, so thats a project im going to tackle when it gets warmer.
Also highlighted the fact that the jimny is seriously lacking in load space. Was also babysitting for the day, and it was a bit cramped!

So back onto ebay to buy an aluminium roof rack!
Pretty happy with the fit, mounted directly onto the original roof bars to keep it a bit lower.

Also updated my bulbs, got LED interior and numberplate bulbs, and new halogens in the headlights.
Pictures of those and the wheel refurb coming next!

I'd measure it myself but the dimensions are on the the listing.

Fitted to my jim it overhangs about an inch each side of the rails widthways. Lengthways fits within the rails no problem.

Looks spot on IMO.
And got it for an offer at £36.

Good work. Did you just use a wire brush?
