Just saying Hello

Welcome along - nice to have you!

Your Jimjam looks good and the boot rust is par for the course it seems - except for mine but I don't know how it escaped it!

Kirkynut

thanks for the welcome's guys.

the rest of the Jimny under was in very good shape for its age minor surface rust in normal places. A fare part of the chaise had original paint on it. you lucky you did not have rust boot to sort more of a inconvenience than a pain rely.

Sounds like you are already into it in a big way. I just wish they still did the blue on the new ones, I would have gone for it.

Good luck.

welcome ... i see you have a Banner battery on it i would get a better Battery on it like a Exide or Optima yellow top

new plate welded in a heavy gage steel to retain structural integrity and painted with stone chip on both sides waiting on blue paint to match the repairs in to body work.




Got new fan belt and power steering belt to fit tomorrow, seat covers to go on new aerial and need to go get a new stereo tomorrow.

thanks for the tip on the battery Jonathan will look at getting one of those.

welcome mate. let me know how you get on with that aerial. mine's broken and needs replacing. fed up of singing to myself.

if it has the double din radio in the Chinese make a very good one with media sat nav and rear camera very cheep ,i got one in mine

welcome

So got the grease waxing done today no photo yet was dripping in places and did not want the phone to get covered in it.

then i set about changing the fan belt and power sterling belt to solve the squeal on start up till the engine warmed lets hope this solved it.






i then changed the aerial was straight forward just remember to undo the clamps under the dash that hold the cable out of the way. used the old trick tie string to the end of the old cable before you pull it out then tie the string to the new cable and pull the string from the inside to thread the new cable through the frame.




waiting on the new stereo tomorrow.

fitted a tow bar now had to grind the bracket on the exhaust end to stop the exhaust rattling. i also had to spray the bracket to attach the bow shackle to.

Welcome, I live just outside Burton on Trent, we normally go out at least once a week, you'll have to come with us one day...........as long as you dont mind the fact everyone else is in LR's!!!!!
