We Fix Australia's Worst Suzuki Sierra & Surprise Our Co-Worker With it!

  • After purchasing one of Australia's worst Suzuki Sierra and then being forced into a hard-core Sydney lockdown, our co-worker Elvis was forced to put the Sierra build on the back-burner. Lucky for him, the rest of us decided to surprise him with a FULL MAKE-OVER!
    We fixed rust, gave it a major mechanical overhaul, resprayed the entire vehicle and even added in some trick 4x4 mods to help him get off-road. What an epic experience! We truly took one of Australia's worst cars and turned it into an AWESOME Suzuki Sierra, Maruti, Jimny or Suzuki Samurai as they're known around the world.
    Thanks to KYB, NGK, Bendix, Narva, Upol Australia and whoever invented rust converter!!
    See part 2 of the build where elvis adds a lift kit and stereo then heads out bush for a scenic drive and camp. - • Suzuki Sierra Gets 2 I...
