I sourced some more stuff today from fellow 55 guys....I got a set of rear 55 tailgate side hinges and one striker. All removed from chopped up 55 panels. Had to get the drill out because heat was not working. They need a some work, 1 needs a...
Well, made some additions to my doors this weekend as they still lack a few items. So, I did some searching around and stumbled across some interesting finds. Check these out. Opened up the holes a bit and--Waala--Pull handles. Yeah I know...
Absolutely, unreal. So that is what a solid complete LV looks like. Sweet rig. A little patena never hurt anyone. Probably the cleanest survivor I've seen that wasn't exposed to salt. I would try to recreate the white patena and seal the...
Great pics----Question, why do some LV cowl vents have a screen and some have the cover---Like above? I probably should know this but I feel I'm about to learn. My 65 and donor 67 both are screened....
Spent a little time on the set of acorns, but they need some more luv before recrome. Sending off the wheels for a blast and powder friday--dark gray. I guess if I cant get them to smooth out I can go for the repops. But trying to keep it as...
Wow...what a great thread and motivation for my project. Thank you. I miss SLO....Poly Grad 94'.........I gotta pickup those 55 side mirrors from John down there. I sourced a pair of NOS rear tail light assemblies from him. Pricey---but worth...
Well, good morning and Happy Easter everyone. I thought I would post up some progress pics. Got a roller going. Just a roller for now to accept the body for more sheet metal repairs. Eventually, will be blasted, painted, disc braking, FJ60...
So, I thought I would post this, but until I source a driver side exterior door handle, I modified a Scout 800 door handle for now. It seems to be an acceptable solution. Does anyone have any other solutions or door handles they have tried?
Very nice. I was sent the picture of these rigs trailered up traveling up Highway 50 a couple of weeks ago. Super clean find. I guess I have a ways to go to get this stage.
Ok. Let the fun begun. I just picked up my LV and pretty excited to dive in, I think. Still sourcing parts as to be expected. Needing most Tailgate stuff, a driver side exterior door handle, door strikers, and wing vent frames. I'm sure...
Hey guys....anyone have a tailgate latch and tailgate hinges. I really don't want to have to make them. Someone? Anyone? I picked up an extra tailgate skin and hatch. Has anyone attempted to make the rear tailgate latch or hinges? How about...
Thanks....Yah, been a bit since I've been active on here. But, I'll post pics soon of the LV. Just sourced a full set of window regulators, OUCH...Don't ask......it still hurts. In search for that tailgate latch and hinges.....Anyone? Has...
Been awhile since I've posted but just acquired an LV in pieces and looking for some parts. Door parts, regulators, handles, strikers, tailgate hinges, tailgate strikers to hatch, rear landcruiser nameplate, toyopet latch assembly, wing vent...
