Having some fun with the Blizzard
Just ordered paint for it. the paint code is 886 Seaside Blue. Never heard of that code and had a bitch of a time finding the name of it. Going to grind out the inside for paint then sand the outside for a quick re-spray.
I went to a vehicle graphics place here in town today to get the graphics re-created. Should be a little pricey but maybe I can sell a few copies of the graphics to people in AU or Japan. Either way I think they're cheesy lookin and I must keep them on the truck. The original ones are covered in overspray from the last hack paint job.
Truck runs AWESOME!! Very smooth. Runs like new.
The rear diff is welded which will be undone soon.
Painted the bezel white and looks much better. Gonna paint the roof Cygnus white and make it a mini-FJ.
Odd fact- the trim tag on the truck says FJ22. Is this an FJ22? The VIN starts with LD10. Confusing.
Another odd fact- the owners manual states that the truck is to never exceed 90 km/hr (56 mph) Who would buy something brand new that can basically never work on highway trips?
Also, it was originally a 2-seater.
Searching for parts. Anyone know where I can get oil filters for an "L" engine?
More fun to come.
