Picking this up on Monday needs a bit of TLC.

Looks alright to me -decals, wipe clean seats and all ! I like the basic functionality mode.

I still have the 15x10 wheels.. Painted brown at the mo ... Kept em in case I ever got another . I loved the look of it with them , they only poked slightly , looked ace I didn't finish the thread for some reason. Ended up with a bodylift kit from eBay , about £60 I think. Loads a bolts and spacers . easy enough to do too |

Watch out for rot on a diagonal from the top of the rear lights down to the back of the front door if they are anything like the Fourtraks. There were no aftermarket panels available at all either.....

That jar of pond water above suggests a look in the tank could be worthwhile. Is this from the early 90s?

Pic of the fuel  It actually ran on that? One unfussy engine. |

Nice, I like it, it reminds me of my Suzuki SJ, no frills Japanese fun motoring! I bet the diesel makes it easier to run day to day too. I'd have left the decals, but that's just me I like retro crappy decals!
Are the vitara wheels 16"? You should have a wider selection of knobbly tyres as that's what the land rover lads use, ive got 15's on my Suzuki and although there is choice, there is more available for 16's,

Coming together nicely. Is it going to have a stealth look then with the black? You're lucky to have found parts at the local scrappers. Around here there's nothing older than ten years in the yards. Now I say that I realise the last out of three scrappers that were here ten years ago has just closed.

I hear 2.0 Toyota motors bolt up into these. Aside from that and your assertion that this isn't an off-road vehicle I have no way of recommending these. A mate is on his second one. It had been cherished. The alloys were so well corroded on it took a LOT of sledgehammer action to get them off. It gets stuck very well.  Amazingly it isn't stuck in this photo. Or this one:  But it normally is... |

Spider feature sounds class. With my traveller respray last week I used a hot air gun at a fair distance to compensate temperature lows and moisture. Plus a gas bottle with one of those heating elements standing about six foot off. I know it ain't pro!

To be honest, from the photo it looks spot on! Great work, what's next? Getting it muddy?

imho just plain old ground clearance and half decent tyre to match your conditions will get you out of 75% of issues. its nothing to do with the badge on the back, or the manufacturer under the bonnet.
