Hi all just finnished gutting it out so here is a pic of the result



I have decided to call it Jimmy... Mostly because i forget to pronounce the 'n' in Jimny and end up just calling it "Jimmy" ;)

I did however test it out on my first off road trip (about 50 meters up a access track to a Electricty Juction Box near my house but you got to start somewhere!) Before giving it a clean

Its Pritty much standerd except from the M/T Tyres and the Box Bar Bumper... I also stuck my nice Keenwood Headunit in from my last car

Plans? Not much really hopefully replace the Box Bar Bumper with a Nice ORA Winch Bumper to finnish off the look... Oh and deffently a 2" lift... Even going down the tiny potholes in the track caused the wheels to rub!

Other then that not much... Although i wont be able to resist stopping there!

Nice looking jim there mate , the wheels / tyre combo suits it and i like the look of the simple box bumper
Kap do a modesty panel that would finish it off nice , it sits between the bumper and grill sort of a cut down stock bumper

Hmm the KAP Front Trim Panel? Yer that looks quite good...

I should be able to modify the Box Bar Bumper To fit nicely around it...

Cheers!

Late night Ebaying caused me to buy a set of these



LED Sidelight bulbs i think they smarten up the overall look of the Jinmy and only cost me a couple of quid

This is the difference... The normal sideligh on the right and the LED on the left



And the overall look

they are really cool, but they are too breakable. After 3 or 4 month, they will be dead :S

Garage isnt big enough to fit Jimmy in :( So this is the Outside workspace ;)



Also a Interior LED Light came through the post today it is abit more of a tight fit then the original but it is brighter (well i think its not quite dark enough yet!)
