Thought you were going to say you bought an xbox and Forza

More chance of DH buying and actually driving on a regular basis a MKIII 8v GTI!

Fair point, well made.

So I bought this thing and then exchanged a fitted Polo gearbox for a whole 'nother SJ.

Then I took a lot of it away, fitted some proper tyres, swapped out the original transfer box as it failed on the first trip out off-road and did quite a bit of welding on it:

and fitted one of the buckets out of the original nail:

Which is still on OEM rails, as per Blue Book regs.

I also welded a roof panel in over it, to provide the start of some protection. I do also have the ROPS from the first one to fit in due course.

Then I took it to a 4x4 trial on Sunday and started enjoying it.

So that looks to be the pattern for the next few months set, then.

You got it on the road? And where you based?

This was my SJ410, my very first froader.

Christ no - I've removed most of the lights (and anything else which came off easily!) so it's a 'trailer queen' (hahahaha - VW scene eat your heart out

)

This is on the Isle of Wight, where I am.
