1987 Suzuki Samurai Description

Up for auction is a fresh build, garage kept, turn-key, functionally modified 1987 Suzuki Samurai. This vehicle was purchased from an acquaintance, who, when nearing completion of this project, needed funds to purchase some real estate.Being a Samurai enthusiast, I gladly purchased it from him, and then with a vision for it, and a better attention to detail, have completed it to my satisfaction. Based on what he had started with (could have used a better donor body), it turned out very well.Only a few minor deficiencies remain - a small out-dent on the hood from closing it down onto a tool, he repaired instead of replacing some body parts prior to paint, and kept the rear drum brakes in lieu of a rear disc conversion. Really the only parts that are not brand new, or not refurbished or reconditioned (though were rebuilt in the past) are the transfer case w/skid plate, the engine, and transmission, which were minimally used previously in another vehicle. The pics speak for themselves. More pics available (ad limit was 24)
