skidooman's even lamer, slower FJ60 build

We need pictures! Can't look any worse than my two tone primer and tan pile haha.

 

O:

 

Hmmmm. So what were you saying about a SOA being too big? Just saying, these are how they are supposed to look.

 

YES

 

Ermahgerd. Sold. Done deal. SOA it is.

Got more info on that ride?

 

I tried telling you spring over before you even got that thing! Haha you get that blue tailgate and window in yet?

 

I'm becoming a parts hoarder. PickNPull had a rust free 84. I bought all that would fit in the truck. I bought another rear hatch with good glass, another tail gate, two front doors(summer doors). Rear seat heater, dash switches, washer fluid res. A few of the items I acquired are getting pretty hard to find. They will go in the rafters for now.

 

Pick n pull in Reno? Was it a brownish color?

 

Yes and yes. I'll have to take a look at your half doors to see how is done.

 

Jealous! I plan on buying an FJ60 to restomod within the next few years.

A buddy of mine recently had a JDM RHD 60 series diesel imported from Japan through a company in California. The thing is MINT w/ almost zero rust and he only paid $11k for it! He also has an FJ60 as well.

 

Grab cutoff wheel, attach to grinder and hope all goes well!

 

Haha simple enough. How'd you do the release for the latch?

 

Recessed the old door lock buttons into the window channel and rerouted the linkage that opens the latch to work with the new release button.

 

Ah. I saw the lock in the pictures. Makes sense now. Initially I thought wtf would you leave the lock on those? Haha.

 

sub'd

 

:angry:

 

You weren't kidding when you said slower build

 

My thoughts on the subject.

So slow it has stopped all together. A guy is coming to pick it up tonight.

 

Sold it?!? Whaaaaat? What now?

 

Yeah, just too much crap going on right now. We're moving to Boise, they smog check up there so that was going to be an issue. I just don't have time for a project, and for the most part I suck at projects. We'll get up there and I will find something. I would like to find another one of these or a t4r. Maybe even a pickup. I will probably kick myself in the ass for this later but owell.
