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
