£600 is a bargin to get a great looking LJ and with them being fiberglass you know they will last forever, a real investment if you ask me!

The ones I'm getting aren't fibreglass Luke, http://autoblechteile.de/Suzuki/LJ-80:::7_53.html I can't afford a fibreglass body and would rather save the original body to be honest.

I'm aware the panels aren't a great fit but it will still be a lot easier than trying to fabricate my own panels with all the dimples etc. I would go for the panels form Columbia but the shipping would cost a small fortune!

well after closer inspection there was actually a 970cc engine fitted in the LJ and the rings in my dads 410 have gone. So out came the ljs engine over the weekend and into the 410 it went, it's a nice runner as well!

I'm going to fit an original 800cc lump in the LJ as I have 2 sat in the workshop.
