26th Feb suits me best too. This Sunday is not suitable for me unfortunately.
Basically the same as me but better spec'd inside the b**tard. Same colour, same 2.5 diesel and manual lol.
I should be fine on the tyre frontIt'll be down to how good the tyres are and how big the balls are then
I might care about mine a little too much tho lol

An aul P38 2.5 like @weeloaney's only a whole lot cheaper, not that I'd want to run it in or anything
She seems dead on, aside from the oil leak, so if it's a simple fix, I'll maybe take it up next month and tow the Vitara on a trailer. Shall see how it unfolds because I'm not putting any money into the engine of it as I already have an M57 sitting there for it (same engine as the TD6 Range Rovers).

I'm jealous of your wee list...
The wife took the piss lol, but there's that many wee jobs need doing now I lose track! Hopefully a good day or two should wipe most of them out
Edit: I'm guessing your list is bigger than mine lol?

I poked a hole in the sill and she somehow ended up about 18 inches shorter...
Need to sheet in the back arches, sheet the inside, repair the floor behind the seats, make the rear half of the roll cage, mount the fuel tank, make new fuel lines with an in-line filter, make an exhaust, fit a new cross member to the rear of the chassis now that it's been shortened, replace a rear drive flange, fit the new alternator, mount the battery, rewire the back half of the body, mount the 2 seats lower than what they were, refit the wings and snorkel and maybe even see about throwing in a pair of seat belts or harnesses... Should probably look at making a front diff guard too to save the aluminium diff...
Oh, and I've to buff down a LOT of welds and paint the whole thing.
Aside from that she's good to go
