Placek's 33" Jimny

Ok, so here we go
Engine bay during cleaning and before painting. All rust has been removed removed and holes patched. Space over wheels will be covered with a thick rubber.















Fuel tank and air compressor on their places.



Body on the chassis. It stands on the bump stops, because springs are not there yet - it's easier to work on the car if it's lower



Engine is almost ready to fit in All redundant sensors, wires, breathers and electronics have been removed. Intake manifold is not there yet. It also turned out, that the engine is 1895ccm, so it's 1.9is not 1.8is I did a small research and the engine is not M42B18 but M44B19. The difference is almost none:
M42B18: 1796ccm, 140PS @ 6000 rpm, 175Nm @ 4500 rpm
M44B19: 1895ccm, 140PS @ 6000 rpm, 180Nm @ 4300 rpm

Now you're cooking. I love it - just like that!
If it were auto (and RHD) it would be my dream motor.

Well it's funny, because it originally was RHD

Dual control perhaps, it'll be for the co pilot.

One steering wheel is for the rear wheels of course! Silly...

No. Left one turns left, and right one turns right only

The engine bay has been painted black. Space between body and chassis and holes behind headlights have been patched with a soft plastic. Engine and gearbox are already in and we're working on them.









I also got some new stickers

Truck is coming along great.

Is the spelling mistake supposed to be on the warning stickers? rason? Or have I missed something?

Nope. It's a typo, I've also noticed it. Going to send them back...
