1983 BJ42 buildup/ resto

Roberto · 07-10-09, 07:22 PM

went by body shop to see progress, they already replaced the rusted windshield hinge area with the donors I bought from SOR, worked out perfect. They sprayed the whole sandblasted body and parts with some oily stuff to prevent from rusting while they cut and replace steel prior to priming. I am working this weekend to tear down top to take to them next week. I have new CCOT gutter system in which I will have them put on weld it and then rust bullet it before putting back on.

Ok Rob, I hope these show what you are looking for. If not just shout and I will snap whatever you need

Hopefully somebody can tell me what the part or #no for that broken blue fibre-type washer/isolator is ?

Roberto · 08-05-09, 08:32 PM

Thanks a bunch Theo, I appreciate it, I will try and find something similar to those bushings.

Does this look right Theo? (Very hard to tell from the small image on the EPC.)

Part number 28622-57010?

Hey Rob it is georgous for sure. What is your current timeline? Can't wait to get yoiur reaction after your first new road trip.

tmarx · 08-07-09, 12:02 AM

Thanks Tom ! You never fail to surprise me. I will use that no to see what we come up with. A buddie of mine is currently rebuilding another friends B motor and I sent him that pic. Even though we never got any of the B series motors in ZA, he reckons he might have had one of those in his shop and will get back to me.When he does I will report back. I suspect it might be a case of the B ser engines having the same parts as the 2.4L motors again ..

Edit: And from toyodiy.com it looks like you are correct, as usual http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/diag_ARq5uY.png

Edit x2: On second thought it actually looks more like 28623-54010 *** STD. PART $2.64

http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/diag_ARq5uY.png

Exactly the same as for the 3L(2.8) engine which means an easy find in ZA for a change and no waiting 6 weeks ex Japan !

Roberto · 08-07-09, 12:12 PM

got most parts from SOR, 4WheelAuto, Cruiseroutfitters, ebay aus, CCOT,

Diesel42, thanks. I have a goal to be rolling again by end of Nov? We will see, I will let you know. it should be a whole new animal since everything has been rebuilt completely, so should be much more quiet, smoother, more powerful (turbo), and a whole lot more.

Diesel42 · 08-07-09, 09:00 PM

That's great. That turbo setup never stops amazing me.

Roberto · 08-10-09, 05:36 PM

just more pics of unwanted rust in which I bought the fix for from CCOT. the hardtop pieces will be custom fabbed. Since I could not source the rubber weatherstripping for inside tracks of LX side sliding windows I am going to see if the ones I bought from SOR will work in which they are the same length and height? They state they are for 76 or older cruisers but measurements tell me they should fit so my fingers are crossed?

more pics

Roberto · 08-10-09, 05:38 PM

last one

tmarx · 08-11-09, 12:17 AM

You guys are sooo lucky with the replacement parts you can buy ...

tmarx · 08-15-09, 02:28 PM

Here are those promissed parts Rob.

This one goes at the top

and this one underneath ..

Today I discovered that whoever replaced the ones on my vehicle in Aus, had mixed them up and fitted the wrong one at the bottom, which kinda explains the reason why it was crushed ...

Correct one at the bottom

Roberto · 08-15-09, 03:15 PM

holy cr** Theo, you are the man, now hopefully I cant get those parts, I will take those numbers and try and source if not I might have to ask a favor? Let me try my local Toyota dealers?

Thanks brother!!!!

I am puting the hardtop off for awhile and gonna go with just a softtop for now for the body shop said it will take many of hours to fix and they already have over 100 hrs in my tub and stuff.

R

Diesel42 · 08-15-09, 05:22 PM

Theo, do you have an idea what that that made of?

Radd Cruisers · 08-15-09, 05:50 PM

I haven't read any of the posts, but was merely looking at the photos....

The lines that run from the "throttle body" to the injection pump should have clamps put on them or they can blow off with the turbo.

Make sure that your diaphragm is in good shape as well.

Your work looks to be very nice. I bet you have 100s of hours into that.

Roberto · 08-15-09, 09:06 PM

Radd, which lines are you talking about? in what pics?
