well i have been on here a hole of about 5 days or less just thought i would introduce my self well im in yr 10 im 15 and love 4wding (well obviously)

im picking my first zuk up on monday and its now friday i am going nuts and i cant wait

from what i know of it its stock as a rock apart from a set of sunraisers or what ever they are called the white wheels with the triangles cut in them

its half in peices it has no soft top and the motor and g box are out of it but are coming with the car but it is for free so i cant complain

here is what i plan to do to it if i actually do it is another thing
* new paint if the paint is bad enough
* 2" longer home made shackles
* 2"body lift
* a bit of work on the motor as its a 1.0
* external roll cage with a basket on the back
* fit a bull bar
* fit a steel rear bar
* and obviously new tyres and maybe rims if the rims on it are all screwed up

sorry for the long thread most of what i said above ill neva get done

Good on ya , thats the best way to learn and a zook is the perfect introduction for a 15 y/old, by the time you have it rebuilt you'll be very skilled . :cool:
