WIth the weather now drying out it was time to try the new canvas out.

A bit of a jump in blog posts, with the SJ approaching completion it was off for some detailing work.

It was a really wet and windy evening when we set out!

Sam has sent in some further pictures of his SJ in build. 

I remember this stage with James' Jimny, it is really exciting when the project changes from disassembly to re-assembly, it really feels like progress when you hit this stage,

The yellow is looking really smart.

Thanks to jimnyexpeditionbrazil for posting some pictures of his Jimny from Bazil.

The great thing about Brazil is that they have very much gone their own way which means Dealers supply the 4x4's in modified form with Suzuki Brazil catalogue modification parts. This should be a world wide standard, in my opinion.

A while ago I posted some pictures of Sam Emery's SJ rebuild, unfortunately at the crucial moment the Welder he had lined up to do the welding was no longer able to do it.  Therefore there has been a very long wait until the next update.

However, he has now found another welder and more progress is being made. 

I am sure from following James' Lil Red SJ rebuild that you will recognise exactly the same issues and repairs being done to this SJ.

The rear wings needed replacing.
