Finaly got my vitara woop woop

[one in a million]

Hey people, just purchased a vitara yesterday for 800 quid, has 81,000 on the clock, so now i can get on with my new project. obviously my first aim is to get a fuel pump cut off switch, so no bugger can rob it. then get rid of the painted silver strip some one had done on there lol, then im going to do my 3 inch lift followed with gettin some 31's off roading wheels, then a snorkel fitted, bit of guttering will do lol then hopefully i get some pictures up before and after. then hopefully pictures of me climbing mount everest in it lol.

i keep you all posted

A fun project! I suppose a wrap might be the easiest option to remove the two tone scheme, not sure how it will hold up to brushing past branches when laneing though!
Have you seen the Vitara here?

I'd leave the paintwork until you'd had some fun in it. If you do it now and go off roading your just gonna ruin the paintwork.

yeah i saw this thread, yeah well it will get ruined in no time lol, just one problem tho i not getting it any more because i found out the mileage counter had been played about with, when i looked up the old m.o.t.'s and i rounded up that it clocked well over 180,000 so i picking my deposit back up and going to find another one. im well upset . but hey at least i found out now rather then later. i keep you posted

 

[turbonutter69]

:embarrest: Didn't read the second post very thoroughly did I! Can I claim overwork and stress?

 

[MasterAuron]

Shame you didn't get it. There'll be another. For some reason they look cool in a sort of 1980's "Wham" way . Heh, I know what I mean.

well i collected my deposit yesterday, so now its back to the bord room to find another, seen some soft tops but they look like a womens car, and there be easier for some one to break in and drive away lol, so yeah its the waiting game now. no after this fiasco i wont be rushing, i think i was just too excited to get it home and get it ready, but at least i caught it before i bought it lol.
