Hi from Basingstoke, Hampshire!

Post by lekkie » Mon Jun 19, 2017 11:14 pm

Hi all, i'm Alexis from basingstoke, been here almost a year but mainly been a lurker, thought it was finally time to say hello.
I currently own a Japanese built 1986 Suzuki SJ410, this is my first car, it looks a bit tatty on the outside but thankfully its all cosmetic. It was used as an off roader before I got it, but very sound and solid where it counts, so i'm currently doing it up myself and sourcing new body parts and interior, thought this place would be a good place to get info, reading other people experiences etc

This isn't the best pic, I need to get some better ones now the weather is nicer, but here she is.

:welcome: Awesome first car! My samurai is my first car & wouldn't dream of having otherwise! If you want to see pointless cheap simple mods like door cards & roof lining etc (mostly cosmetic, ) my post history is more than sufficient, for anything more practical, the rest of the forum is full of all the info you need, there's a "how to guides" page full of loads of fixes for common issues and General sj how to's and if you can't find the right answer on there just make a post and I'm sure any of us can answer :D
