Bertbuckie's Jimny

Im just up the road in Preston, Birkenhead has loads of scrap yards! Im going to save and get the flared arches as i need the clearance for my big tyres, im also after rear arches as my old ones are realy tatty, im currently trying to tart up my jimny after selling it 12month ago and buying it back after it having alot of bad mods and battle scars. The previous has fitted narrow springs inside the +3' springs to compensate for the weight of a big winch, this is dangerous!

Well..... today was a good day
First coat on wheels,
Took brake calipers off and cleaned/copper slipped them since one was squeeking a little
First coat calipers/hubs
