Ok none of this is to offend or take away form any of the real hard work anyone has carried out to remove rust but im cheap so lets roll........
thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/homemade-waxoyl.33278/ saw this and looked at a lot of rust converter.

So I got busy.


No lift so I will make do.



Washed it.......

So I needed a cheap rust converter and went with this www.glanbiaconnect.com/shop/product/Deosan-Descale-5L/9085080
So ordered this milking parlor descale er which is around 20% Phosphoric Acid arrived the next day for less than €25 I have 5 lts of rust busting magic.

So i got a small squirt er bottle and applied about 1 ltr of Acid and let it dry for 24 hrs

The white areas is where the rust got converted

Now one of the many down sides to my cunning plan is I will have to drop the jimny and tilt it onto the other side . And it rained the following day so I have to move the whole plan into the shed.

So after repeating all of the above yesterday I had some spare time and knocked out a set of farming grade rock sliders......
welded on I plan to spray the under body with an farm shed oxide paint.

Got the idea here looking at car tilters www.cjautosheywood.co.uk/tilters.shtml

We used to do this when we would break down during trials ,a group would gather round and we would tilt the jeep on to its side with a bush of gorse or up against a ditch never damaged a panel.

Ooops! Bet you didn't expect that to happen. From the pictures above - tell us a little more about your tractor - looks like I'm not the only Jimny owner on the Forum who also drives tractor.

So started welding . Can I start by advising any one planning to learn how to weld car panels to get a door from the scrap yard for material and to flatten a copper pipe and make a copper welders spoon . Google it shows you how to fill holes and blow outs . My welding ain’t pretty and neither am I but it seems to be holding strong.

OK I have to accept the possibility of some graft so I need some advice

My Jimny is 2004 years old. It's a B43V variant and 5MT version. A 2-inch spring and shock lift and most importantly 41 k miles on the clock and was the main reason to buy plus it was the older 4x4 gearbox manual shift. Bought it in January 2019 in Peebles in Scotland online. Saw it online booked 2 flights and was in Edinburgh on 06/01/2019 at 8 am in the morning. The Owner picked us (My self and my eldest 14yr old son )up from the Airport and was very honest on the Phone. So didn't do too much hanging around gave him the asking(£900) plus 60 for picking us up. Decent guy Bob thanks.

We had what can only be described as one of the biggest laughs a father and son can have, strange land strange roads, and one of the most beautiful cross country spins I've had in a long time.
Peebles to Stranraer through the Galloway National Park what a route.

Anyway, I've decided I'm going back and I am starting to get the Jimny ready for our NCT your MOT and was reading the Jimny Wiki s (excellent resource and well done to all involved) and need some underbody advice.
I want to keep it looking reserved like this Jimny.


It's got a 2-inch spring and shock lift.
I know it's going to need at least the following. Can you advise what else I should replace under the body

Jimny Super Pro Castor Correction Bushes
Jimny rear shock repositioners/spacers

If you have removed the anti roll bar or have a disconnect fitted
Then get extended brake lines
Also the rear brake line (standard) may become tight under articulation
If this is happening 1.you can leave un clipped on chassis end OR
get one from motor factors with same ends a little longer
