My off road project is a Black 1988 ½ rag top: I got this project already SPOA lift and real rusty front fenders with Firestone P235's a ok top but had rear window. I also picked up a set of real used headers and a Weber carb from the same guy. Then had a custom 2” exhaust and high flow cat put on. Awful seats, and that nasty factory decal on the sides of the black samurai. Heat gun took care of the decal.
A trip to the junkyard found new front fenders on an 89 black samurai, could tell they was new after market fenders from the stack notches on the tops of the fenders, And no rust so got the whole front clip. Found some JX seats out of an 88.5 hard top in the same junkyard. What looks to be a new Best top from yet another samurai there, which also had a nice LaCarra steering wheel with the Suzuki Emblem on it. After being embarrassed with those awful tires, I went shopping for new tires found a good deal on a set of 31x10.5 used tires and 15x8 wheels. Tires was about shot but was paying for the wheels any way and even almost bald they did better than the Firestone’s did then later got a good set of Wildcountry 31X10.5’s I really like them. Picked up a set of used nerf bars, Also now have a locker for the rear not installed yet and a Ramsey 5000lb wench quick mount front bumper now going to make rear bumper take it also I think. Picked up a removal hardtop last fall for the winters.

  Next project is Power steering! Then either a new tub or whole new Sammy cancer is eating mine away :( that would solve the sorting threw all them wires for the FI if find a 90 or newer one of the next projects also!
 
  2 years ago my 1.6 developed a knock had not tore in to it because I was short of time cash and health wasn’t good so it sat and sat now have a donor 1.6 but think I will rebuild it to make sure it’s a good one! Some one told me the knock may not be a rod after all have to check that out and confirm that though so may wind up with a spare!
