My Jimmy New look. was created by Jim Jim
Hi Mates,
Been a while since I was last here. Just showing some progress with my 98 Jimny. I bought it in May and did quite a bit to it already.
Lifted it 2 inches with spacers I machined, cut 4mm thick galvanized patches, welded and reinforced all the rear body mount supports, installed new body mounts and painted the chassis and underneath the body. Sanded and painted the entire engine bay, and finally spent 5 days sanding, priming and painting her in a beautiful BMW blue.

I have installed an alarm with remote locking right now. Wiring up the manual remote start and remote window control next.

I have some bits to get that I cant seem to find here, the stealership does not stock low demand parts either.
I need a rear window wiper motor seal/grommet, tail gate door handle and glove box lock, if you guy know where I can get these relatively easy, please let me know.
The local stealership has the glove box lock in stock priced at US$ 110
