Bertbuckie's Jimny

Aye I'm in the same boat mate, but I've no workshop.

Need to wait for better weather, which is a bummer as I'm off for a few weeks.

I might take 1 wheel off at a time & paint it up & dry it indoors.

Underneath, I've not much chance to get it up on anything - no axle stands or anything.

Keep us posted, I'm interested to see how you get on & how it looks + any tips on how to go about doing wee mods that don't cost the earth.

I got wind deflectors & a few stickers & the windscreen sun visor strip - I might put a bit of it along the top of each headlight, but I'm not sure..lol.

Go to carboot sales - axel stands + 2 tonne jack....... £5 - mind you the jack needed oil..... lol

I would go for the 1 off at a time indoors....I sprayed my signum bumpers in our kitchen....wife flipped when we found every plate, every glass, even in cupboards was black lol - but deffo worth doing it right - I painted my signum calipers in a council carpark one day

I even took a moped upto my third floor flat and rebuilt the engine and the rest of it lol.

BTW the garage and shop.... its my dads tho the tools are mostly mine - well the non-wood working ones

No tips as yet for cheap mods, just keep her clean and protected if your skint like me

They will look good with hammerite smooth especially with a bit effort put in

I want to underseal mine but not sure what parts to do and what not? Does it make a huge mess??

im thinking of doing the same, im skint and could probs just afford some paint, as its off the road i can strip my jimny out and just clean it up. I cant decide on how far to go and if to use different colours or just paint it all black. Ive the luxury of a garage to store all the bits to paint and clean up. Thinking if to make up a snorkle out of some cheap flexy pipe. Free/cheap mods!

I will give you a tip..... DONT paint brake pipes lol....what a hastle I had with a MOT on an astra
I mixed black paint with oil and just sprayed........ but this time I am going to rub down all metal thats rusty, and just paint
Im sure it will drip....but well well, worth it
