Bet his MIG quivered when it saw this rust-monster drive in shedding flakes everywhere. Then again the description on the MOT Fail is epic. A mousehole in the inner sill is not the end of the world for man with an angle grinder, lift and a good Mig with pulse. The "Box-section" will probably be a flat piece or with a 90fold at worst and easier to weld as it would start out thicker than bodywork. I wouldn;t give such a POS houseroom but if I were in the market, the fuel injection/ECU issues would give me more pause than some underneath rust problems. Welding steel isn't black magic, just dirty and often with accessability issues. Electronics on the other hand ...... need I say more?

My mother had a soft top Jimny until fairly recently. It suffered from the notorious Jimny “death wobble” at around 45mph. Her partner did some research into it and discovered that the soft top versions, unlike the hard tops, were built in Spain, not Japan. They supposedly produced them with greater tolerances, hence the reason for the play in the steering.

To be fair, 17 years old is getting on a bit as far as rust is concerned, for example plenty of Mercs and Beemers of that vintage have rusty bodies. As for the emissions, a good code reader may well divulge a commonality between the various high readings. However there is little scope for profit if sold as a runner, as matt often demonstrates solid flip cars are somewhat of a rarity. It's why they get traded in, the owners already decided that fixing them up just isn't viable, either through a multitude of faults or a single major problem.

We've had a couple of Jimnys, our current one is the same age and about the same age, rust has never been a problem for us though the engine warning light is, every year or two it decides to come on for no obvious reason. Their flat paint doesn't age well either. Suzukis are generally reliable especially with age, that's why they're beloved in developing countries.

you should always check a jimny behind the headlights especially, they acumelate water behind the headlights on top of the body mounts with no way to go so its a prime spot for rust. beside that the boot is also a prime spot for rust due to the jack vibrating ontop of the metal, i do own a 2007 jimny SE my self :) great little car.

I've got an 06 Jimny Soft top, and its a brilliant little thing with the heart of a lion. At 06 I believe it to be one of the last soft tops available. I had to have the death wobble sorted by our local Suzuki car dealer, and I put a new roof on it for about £500. Easy job, even for a mechanical 1/2 wit like myself. It has had some welding done around a seatbelt mount.. I'm 6'2" and 20 stone by the way, so I put it on rather than getting into it, but it is excellent.

Very entertains. My wife had one of these a few years prior to our meeting - loved it! Going even further back to 1979, a pal of mine turned.up at a party with the predecessor, which had a 648cc two stroke engine, I had a series III Land Rover at the time & we did a bit of green landing. I must admit, that althe thing sounded like a strummer, it wasn’t too bad off road. That was until he tried to follow me down a steep bit to a oriver crossing, for some reason he managed to w turn it on its side. No problem we just pulled it upright & off it went again. He also decided to hook up a trailer loaded with about a ton of sand & gravel in it - very embarrassing, he couldn’t use the high range, and a right hand turn at some traffic lights, saw us only about halfway across the intersection in fourth. Gear when the lights changed - they changed again before the trailer was half way across..😊

It did probably have an easy life with just one lady owner before me and judging by the thick wad of receipts, was pampered while she had it. Also it was low mileage, just 49,000 in its first 10 years.

My 2005 exactly the same. Put on eBay for £750 pre pandemic. Too too cheap but anyways within hours a truck from Bradford turned up with the cash. Weeks later up for sale £4K.
