Good work I have 81 LJ 80V in pretty good condition though nowhere as thorough as yours My daily driver to the golf course and back and absolutely love it.
Hello from Tasmania, Australia! Love the LJ, I’m doing a budget LJ 50, 1.0 litre build. Compared to yours, she’s a bit rough!! These things are so much fun. Keep up the good work. Darren.
Fantastic restoration - have really enjoyed your first two LJ videos and am looking forward to seeing your Richmond Green one in the next instalment. i also had 2 new Suzukis in the 80s but I was a late starter so mine were an SJ410 van and a 413 pickup - have got an LJ80V now though (also in Richmond Green).
Wow, the level of detail you have put into this restoration is quite remarkable! I subbed to your channel because of the Workmate restoration which was impressive as well! Since your comments are turned off on that video, I'll ask my question here. I just bought a used Workmate 225 and want to restore it as it has some rust here and there particularly on the metal feet as it must have sat in the rain a time or two. It's the model with the pressed wood top pieces which have black tops with insignia and rulers marked on the edges. It is gray in color and I want to match the original paint with a rattle can. In your video, you used Rustoleum Painters Touch Gloss Dark Gray Paint & Primer. Can you please comment on whether this paint will match my Workmate? Thanks and keep us posted on the LJ80 restoration!
Good work, looks amazing! I had an LJ80 soft top mid 80s to mid 90s (Isle of Wight, UK). Loved it. Would love one now but have read that there are now only 14 left on the road in the UK! How on earth did you source all those parts?
Most of the parts he has had since new. He got his first LJ in the 80's and started collecting parts then and just bought when he could and saved them.
Hey Great Video. I just bought a LJ81 and looking to do restoration. I am looking for parts. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am in Alberta Canada. Thanks
