I made a little more progress this weekend. I got the rest of the interior stripped out except for the healdiner which will be a PITA. The headliner is coming out because it's ripped, and it's cloth. I will plan to use vinyl headliner from my HJ. I also drained the fuel tank and pulled the exhaust, and a few more things from the engine bay.
Next I plan to strip the firewall of brake/fuel lines etc., pulling the glass and headliner, and cleaning the underbody/firewall. I am also going get quotes for paint from some local shops. EDIT: should this be moved to the new Expedition board? __________________ Project Overland Build - Updated 7/3/08 UpstateCruisers.net "Goes where the golden trout are." |

Whats the plans for the interior? Or to be more specific ,will it be onboard accommodation with the rear seat removed?
For paint,I would go with a 2 pack white for ease of patch ups. The beige would be my 2nd choice though. __________________ HZJ75 cab chassis 95 model ,stocker FJ73+1HZ Diesel NEW GEARBOX 1HZ =same power as 3F with 30% better fuel economy 2in Dobinsons lift.Powerdown adj shocks 33 in BFG A/T HJ61 with slidin windas regrettfully SOLD:(Volvo 740 GL |

interior/accessories will be "phase two" of the build. Right now I am focusing on the chassis and powertrain. So until then the folding rear seatds and rear quarter class will stay and I will use my current rear cargo drawers (which need finishing), and make a modular sectiions for over the rear seats when folded to create a level loading surface.
![]() ![]() ![]() future plans, however, will include removable rear bucket seats, and integrated, full-height storage compartments. __________________ Project Overland Build - Updated 7/3/08 UpstateCruisers.net "Goes where the golden trout are." Last edited by VTCruiser; 07-31-07 at 05:28 AM. |

Man this looks great. Look forward to learning about your linked suspension. Exactly what I want to build when circumstances allow.

I don't have much of an update right now, been too busy. Work finishes up next week and I start classes again on the 22nd, so I've been getting ready for all that. Plus i have a bad cold and it's been over 100 degrees here this week.
I think i have decided on Maaco for the paint job. Their quality looked decent and for $1300 I can get the whole thing any color i want in urethane single stage (4 year warranty). Plus, they are less than a mile away and can have it done in 4-5 days. Considering I don't have ANY painting equipment, i couldn't do it for less and it would take forever. Since the body will be completely stripped, and it's on a frame I won't be using, I am not worried about overspray or runs. So, I still need to finish stripping and degreasing the firewall and underbody, pull the glass, and do a little straightening to get ready for paint. When classes start back I should have more time to work on it.... __________________ Project Overland Build - Updated 7/3/08 UpstateCruisers.net "Goes where the golden trout are." |

yeah i really like the tan, classic color. Freeborn red is more sentimental as it was the color of my mother's FJ60 when i was a kid. It's a little bright though.

update...
the tear-down continues. Classes start this week so I have been busy getting ready for them. I had a chance to work in it for a couple hours yesterdat though and I have all the doors completely disssembled to the bare shell. Still need to do the hatch and tailgate, and finish up the fire wall, then its time for A LOT of degreasing/cleanup to get it ready for paint.
I have a set of diesel fenders (no vents) I am going to use but they are in VT, so i also need find a way to get those down here to SC... __________________ Project Overland Build - Updated 7/3/08 UpstateCruisers.net "Goes where the golden trout are." |

VT,
Did you make the storage system for the rear? Would you have the plans? This would work great for storing dog training equipment and carrying the dog crates. Thanks Mike Conyers, GA __________________ Mike Conyers, Ga 1988 FJ 62 Georgia Crusiers Upstate Cruisers |
