Right so my old jimny died on me needed lots of work and it was just an endless list of things to do, so I went to Manchester and picked my new jimny up, not one bit of rust and with only 80k on the clock she runs smoothly as she does, though if go for a change of colour to, from blue to bright red!

Will keep you updated on most mods I do.

Not had chance to fit the lift kit or snorkel as I've been busy with work, but here a picture of the special tracks, rather impressed with them.

Will fit the snorkel next weekend hopefully, slow and steady but I'll get there! B)
