Well my radio setup is going to be a raspberry pi system. I already have it and the 7" touchscreen and ridiculous subwoofers and whatnot. It really would not be hard to tie the window and lock functions into it. However, I still have the manual switches so I don't really have a point to

Before all of this car is said and done I might just end up replacing the delenair with the pi. If that happens then I guess I will end up digitizing almost everything in the car.

Sometimes necessity isnt necessary, and you just have to go full awesome.

Great work!

Sorry, must have missed this post. For some of us here Jags are a hobby that has become a passion.
Motorcycles have always been a passion for me as long as I can remember, it goes with growing up in a motorcycle mad family in a motorcycle mad country.
Here is a before & after of my first full resto, and I still think it is the best one I have done.(I think it was 15 months from buying it until having it road registered)

Very nice work. That is the last Suzuki that looks like a motorcycle. The later ones more like Star War machines.


My son bought a similar one brand new. Transitioning from dirt to road. Ouch !!! dear departed wife and I "sweated".


Then on a factory required warranty service, the shop 'screwed up the valves!! So, son striped it down and "fixed" it. Bigger cams, bigger bore. 4 into one pipe to improve extraction and dump weight. Much faster... Aye, yay yay.


Yipee, he tired of it and sold it. A CHP bought it, a motorcycle cop. Much impressed with it's speed and power.

In my opinion the best looking Suzuki ever built(1980 model). That is why I owned 9 of them between 1983 and 2002.
Absolutely bullet proof engines. The days of real naked muscle bikes.
