Thanks Mate. A lot of work and cash went into this Jimny already but I think I will enjoy it.

I am looking around for a 1600 Baleno or Vitara engine to rebuild and swap into her. The 1300 is pulling strong, but I think the valve seals might be leaking a bit, the extra torque and HP should be fun too....

Will be lifting suspension 2 inches soon too.

Ignore the HT power cable running across the engine, I was checking it for length.

Engine swap will finish that off for sure, there are a lot of wires to sort there mate I wouldn't know where to start :D the wallet definitely emptys fast but will look great when finished ;)

LOl lots of wiring but I like that, still have to do the sound system and HAM radio after :)

The Jimny has a simple but yet "unconventional design" for electric door locking compared to other manufacturers, took me a bit of time to figure out how it operates. Had to use a normally closed 5 pin relay to make it work with the alarm for unlocking.
