My 01 Jimny, another Norwegian was created by MadsV
It's been 2 years since I sold my Jimny, wanted one since. Rented a Jimny on Crete this summer, and when I got home and saw my old Jimny for sale I had to buy it.

It had a long list after MOT, and the new owner didn't want to begin(got it cheap).

So need to change brakes, swivel and kingpin right side and some exhaust leaks! My plan for this is modular offset wheels from Jimnybits, with 215-75 tyres, 2inch Trailmaster and probably deal with some rust and a some paint.

Throwing in some old photos aswell
Some would say it's too heavy?

I have rust in the same places... If you want a full replacement, jimnybits has the entire rear floor for sale :)

Also got a bit of rust in the front of the car, and in front of the drivers seat under the carpet. Damn salt!!

Ordered full boot panel, king pin kit, new rear door hinges. Door hinges at Suzuki was about 100£ more expensive than zukidoktor.dk!

It'd be good to see how the jimnybits floor panel works out....I had this one cnc punched for my own car.



And rolled this one with Andy at 351 motorsport local to me



I prefer the rolled one...flat floor and the rear seats still fitted back in with 2 15mm spacers and the bolt moved to the upper hole for the seat pivots

So teach me something....Norwegian lesson 1... what is Norwegian for "Good morning"?

Many thanks! I'll have to look into some more....sounds Germanic almost Gutte Morgen.....But then again I'm the guy who arrived in Portugal and realised I literally only had one word of Portuguese....Obrigado.......Along the way and food poisoned later in France I realised they don't speak Spanish so Cinquecento milligramo ibuprofeno por favor fell on deaf ears....a smile and a facepalm later all was well.
