Hi Rick, and welcome to the forum ...greetings from the Cotswold Hills in the UK!

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Gents.
Thought id share some more pictures of my car and some mods i have done over the past year.





Completely stock standard


Some Fresh new shoes to replace stock rubber.







2wd low range switch




Some storage

And guess what i have! Of course rust, its a jimny after all.
there are still 2 holes behind the headlights...
Absolutely Knackered/rusted kingpin bearings.

added small mod list to first post.

Blimey!
Looks like the steering wheel is on the wrong side! :evil:

Great job on the patchwork repairs though [Thumbs-up smiley needed here]

it is indeed:laugh:
Thanks for the thumbs up Max.
The rust repairs where a gaint pain in the behind.
I am happy that the rear is rust free though.
And while the interior was out it was the perfect time to add led interior light and add gaint speakers (12cm:P )

Ahaaa - I was wondering what that 'box' was all about! - I thought you'd just made some kind of boxed-in area like a load-liner to match the seat height when they're folded.

Excellent

last Saturday i went to a pay and play event with a few mates and had a blast.
of course i got stuck and while recovering the vehicle we completely mangled right rear tow point.
I did use a strap across the 2 tow points and a kinetic rope but the the gentleman who pulled me loose was a bit enthusiastic/ on an angle......



bashed it back in to place and ordered a tow bar, i am going to remove and remake the stock brackets on the chassis.
