Nice work, as usual. That thing will be ready for the summer it looks like.

Silascrum · 04-01-08, 12:32 PM

Great inspiration! Looks awesome.

Flinny · 04-01-08, 01:24 PM

Ramon the plan is to have it ready for the summer.....but you know how it goes...If we dont have any mechanical problems we should be on time...Still a lot of things to do...

It will be a soft top (OEM style) with 4" lift.

fj40z · 04-01-08, 03:29 PM

Wow that looks really good, thats some very nice work.

cruiser4life · 04-01-08, 09:23 PM

These pictures just reinforce would I already knew, you guys have some serious skills! Good work.

Fort Knox · 04-01-08, 11:06 PM

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Flinny · 04-03-08, 08:14 AM

Thanks everyone for the comments!
The camera shots help though!

I dont think we can do much this weekend since Juan is out of town and we have the new puppy we are fostering. I will post more pics on monday....I must do some work regardless.

Flinny · 06-24-08, 08:33 PM

These are some pics from this weekend....before I found out I had a leak in the radiator!!!!

FJ LE · 06-25-08, 07:23 PM

Very Nice!
It's interesting to see the inside of an FJ and how it's restored.
I wish I had the time and tools for this.
