We call it "bear conditioning" :rofl:

Did some layers on the inside.

Top progress. Got to scuff up the rest and prime and paint!

I got my E-Brake totally rebuilt and ready to reinstall along with a new T-Case rear seal. All Toyota OEM parts.

some more progress did some filler. some guide coat. gonna clean the yellow scuzz off the rest of the roof. then primer and some what i hope is close to cygnus white or how ever it spelled

Attempting to patch a sunroof hole in the top. Learned a lot from fishbumptv on youtube.

Well alright progress is being made. used a 1/8” abs panel as a filler core. Six layers of chopped strand mat. I used Total boat epoxy. We will see how it turns out. my first fiberglass layup. Watch a lot of fishbumptv on youtube.

Hard top patch is in the works. Trying to delete the 80’s sunroof that was installed. There may or may not be a youtube video. Just depends on how the footage comes out. Starting out laying up a fiber glass weave to help get the contour...

She is still at it!

Partsouq.com is a great resource for diagrams. Put in your VIN and you can browse detailed diagrams with part numbers.

Im trying to find the seal that is on the end of the CV that goes into the steering knuckle. I think its called a dust shield. Im rebooting the CVs with all-pro high angle boots.

I used to go online and find very helpful exploded diagrams on parts stores and now they seem to have disappeared.

I’m superstitious in that I ALWAYS replace the thermostat when I pull a radiator and/or water pump. I’ve had several instances of having a cooling system open for less than an hour and having a thermostat stick.🤬
