My new toy

[Jeepv6]

Just thought I would put a few pics of my newly acquired mine,belonged to a chap local to me he owned it for about 4 years but not knowing about cars spent a fortune getting it sorted,it was then parked up a year ago a few weeks ago he contacted me and said I could have it cheap result... I've done a lot of work to it but it's now getting there. Just fitted a dim exhaust
And sump guard this weekend I changed the oil but alas the sump bung won't tighten up so I've ordered a repair bung from mini spare hope it works

I passed my test in a mini,then when I was a car salesman he around 6 new ones as company cars,then I rallied one met my wife to be at the motor club she was my navigator, we still Marshall to this day won't ever sell mine it's fab if a little temperament will keep posting updates,hope I can get pic correct way up
