Blake's Jimny

Third car. first Jimny, thought I'd finally get around to making a build thread with all the stuff I've done over the last couple of years.

Dubbed "Jenny" I bought her February 2015 from a local car auction, 2008 Reg and around 120000 miles for £3000 (I won the auction at £1750, but the owner wouldn't let it go for that unfortunately ).




A few photos to tide you over for now, plus todays additions, and I'll upload more pics when I get around to it.

Starting off with today then, my new wheels arrived



£275 from eBay, and £40 P&P. I'll need new tires for them soonish and that's top of my ever growing to-do list

I got both driver's side ones on, then moved on to the passenger left and discovered a huge buckle in the rim whilst cleaning it



Messaged the sellers, whom were very apologetic, and offered me a £120 refund (the cost of a brand-new one) which I gladly accepted. I'll see If I can get the wheel repaired, and hopefully I'll be quids in

As for the passenger front, I wasn't too sure it was holding air so I skipped that one and decided to fill it with air and leave it a day or two to see if it would stay inflated. However I think the valve might be bust.



At least the one side looks nice though.

I think I have one of these wheels. I will check for you today.

Not a problem, fleaBay it is then.
