Hello, well i was browsing the internet the other day when i stumbled across a damaged repairable jimny on a 04 plate with just 9000 miles on the clock. I decided that I'd go and have a look, take the money and tralor just incase ... to cut a long story short i parted with my hard earned and now have a bent jimny sitting in my drive waiting for some TLC! I've pulled most of the damaged stuff off, need to get some cutting gear out to remove the damaged inner wing (any tips would be good). I've never had a project this big before so am feeling abit anxious. :)

P.S. any ideas on a name for the project

not a bad price for an 04 even with that damage. Dunno why but I like the plate too :)

Shouldnt be any big shakes to put right I'd have thought.

Local lot to me has an 05 RS4 that had been pranged

£24,000 :O

tube would be good ... was thinking of a tube bumper for it ... dont know how heavy they are though? the price was even better than that, by the time i'd looked under it, made some funny noises waved some cash under his nose and tossed a coin for a tank of petrol i only payed £950 for it ... I think the plates pretty cool too. :D
