phase 1 of this jimny was now complete, removed the rear seats, removed front and rear bumpers, removed the front anti-rollbar and done some off-roading in it.

then the inevitable happened, tried to get thru a tight gap on an off-camber hill, the rear of the jimny slide down the hill and got the b-pillar stuck in a metal pole, I had no winch and was on out my own so there was no way out only to keep driving and make the damage even worse. going back to the kubota rtv I mentioned earlier I always had an idea where this project was going and this accident reinforced that idea!!

Replaced the door with another one
Sealed up the rear window with a sheet of perspex to keep the rain out.

rebuilt the front axle when replacing the oil seals

welded the back door back onto the cab.
filled in some of the holes with offcuts from the rear.
passenger side almost complete
view from the inside, jeep is'nt going back on the road so seatbelt mounts were not a concern here.
