About to buy a Jimny in Japan...

Looking good!

Awesome!

It arrived to Southampton and has been delivered to some family whilst I'm overseas.

Still has snow tyres on from the Japanese ski season so first thing will be getting another set of rims on with some chunky a/t tyres to give it a bit more presence, and secondly fitting a rear fog light so it can pass its M.O.T!

Too cool! That is so awesome!

I like that, that looks really nice

update time.

rear fog fitted, needed wiper blades and then she flew through the MOT. Paid somebody to detail and valet it as was rather dusty from the ship and I am told it looks a million times better. v5c came back after 4 weeks so it also has plates. got a good enough deal on insurance for a japanese import too. and we haven't seen it since we were in japan way back in the winter!

i bought a set of sj steelies off ebay, had them blasted and powder coated gloss black and have some crap tyres on as a temp job until the next phase is completed which will allow us to get some nice ones

that phase being lifting it which is proving mighty tricky to source parts! there is some cross over with the sj80s that were barely sold in europe and98-onwards jimny according to websites in japanese and looking at parts on japan yahoo auctions, but nothing concrete. there are plenty of lift kits available out there but the postage and total cost is insane so hopefully can bastardise something together in the uk be it sourcing springs and shocks sepertely. much research to be done on how i can do this.

we head home in 5 weeks so will get some pictures then.
