The black DKW has had all the welding done, and all the bits are there plus a few extras.
The junior need a bit of work, but is fairly sound.
The guy selling them is one of the few with the gear for rebuilding the crankshafts.

Very good Jeeps the Suzis, very simple but robust mechanicals but they rust like theres no tomorrow. They are very good off road, that one has a UK reg so will need VRT unless you want to keep it off road till next year.

I bought it yesterday anyway :rolleyes: Not sure what the plan is with it yet as I want it for the body really

It has a small bit of rust here and there, but not near as bad the one I have at the moment. Needs a small bit of work on each door and maybe the rear pillar. It drives grand but the brakes aren't great since it has been lying up in a shed for a while.

Still though, it had to be a bragain at 600!

haha, no, I was looking for one for vintage use really, a lot of them have been turned into off roaders, but good ones are very few and far between, I have a SJ410 already, with a bad body, so thats what I bought the one above for. Hard to find a decent SJ410 anywhere, but the wider and more powerful SJ413 are relatively common enough

On a related but unrelated note I have an sj413 (badged as a samurai) which I'm thinking of returning to an "on the road car" but it needs new sills. Do you know of anyone or anywhere to get replacement panels for it?

I have a polish friend who buys obvious bargains and immediately advertises them for something closer to the true value, he's not pulling a stroke just taking advantage if someone needs to sell quick and he'll drive it until he sells it for the money he wants! He's had some lovely cars and at the moment he has a lovely 09 3 series coupe with no finance, I call that shrewd.

On RTE news tonight, Russian done in Galway for shaving 15k off a s/h car - must be a slow news day

Some cars are going for a song these days, but I had a 90 Sunny in great shape that I couldn't give away - put it on Done Deal and got 200 for it off a Nigerian who was shipping it 'back home' where it'd be worth bobs

I look at Autoscout24.eu to get a German value on stuff - I reckon the Germans sell cheap so I won't sell for anything less because things are bound to look up - SOMETIME :mad:

He might have made it easier for himself if he cut the bushes around it, I mean wtf are we looking at here?





Having said that if he dragged it out I'd say the floor would stay put.

What's worse has to be the absolutely astounding amount of people to buy crap, as long as it's cheap :eek:

A rot box for a few hundred will sell very quick, regardless of condition, but a decent car, priced accordingly is a lot harder to sell, even though they are often much better value in the long run :rolleyes:

True to a certain degree, if people think they are getting a bargain they will buy crap all day long.

Even when the former is 400 and the latter 1300. I was struck by that thought recently too. It doesn't make sense to me

+1

I own what would've been a premium / performance car in it's day. The drill seemed to be:

Owner #1: Loads of money, company car ... anything that needed doing got done.

Owner # 2: Possibly as above

Owner #3 onward: Small issue or two rectified, squeezed the good out of it otherwise and fitted crappy "pattern" parts (that would be 'pattern' in the loosest possible sense)

The amount of corrective / general undoing work involved after a few of the latter muppets owning a car is unreal. If I wasn't in so deep I wouldn't even bother.
