- The wierdo in the funny hat hoovering is the wife
Found a lot of small chips/rust bits starting to form when detailing, I will have to give her a good claying and seal all the spots up before they get worse.....and rub down / spray the petrol cap sometime soon.
Ohhhh, and a pic of the heat shield.... I cant remember if I posted it before and Im on GPRS internet so took me a day just to open this page lol









Any comments welcome..... and DONT hastle me tyre shining the tyres lol, they were in such a bad state they needed it.... and yes I know.... its a 4x4

Well took the jimny into the garage today to take off the petrol cap since its rusted so bad it looks like its going to fall to bits soon
Tried to take it off...... the 2 screws were solid so just rubbed it down and hand painted with black hammerite in situe
I will post pics sometime, hopefully today..... might have to email martin with them again since i have slow internet here

Hey it looks Super clean though, go get it muddy now then!

Any way where do you live? Center parcs!!

Looks very nice

lol, the cleaning pics were ages ago.... she's muddy now
petrol cap looks ruff ( Adam style lol )
but at least it will stop it rusting again
I will go take a pic in a while once its dried
I live at AB45 2BT - the middle of no where

Well I was unhappy with the finish the hand brused petrol cap left..... so I rubbed it all down today and started again...... with spray paint ( black lol )
Left just the same kind of finish.... wish i hadnt bothered tbh.
I will upload photos one day......
Also someone elses jimny was juddering at certain revs - mine was doing the same so I looked underneith. I found the backbox was able to bang against the bit above the right hand eye. I stuck a jubilee clip through the eye and around the exhaust ( as a test to see if it deffinately was this banging ) and it stopped banging
I'm not sure of a more permanent solution, has anyone come accross this before ?
