We have been gathering a lot of parts. This build is about to get going!
Axles built out besides rear calipers and brake lines.
Massive brakes! RCV shafts, elocker, 4.11 gears.
Cheers
Pretty nice tools. The screwdrivers are from the 80s, but may have bled into the 1990's. The yellow-handled clip removal tool, magnet, and screwdriver are 1970s. All are stamped TOYOTA MOTOR, with the exception of the small slot screwdriver...
For your Land Cruiser photos. Haven't seen another of these. Measures 13" x 13" and in pretty darn good shape. $60, which includes shipping to the US. Note to the buyer: the backing of each page (where the white reverse side of the photograph...
Nice example of a deep green Toyota tool box which came equipped in JDM Land Cruisers in the late 50s - early 1960’s. Very straight lid - many lids on these types of boxes have bent over years of opening/closing, but not this one. Latches...
Pretty cool Toyota car wash accessories. You'd still be able to use all if you want to, but they are more for collectibility than use. Both glass cleaner bottles are full. Tried them out and the cleaned a mirror just fine. The contents of the...
From the collectible corner of the garage comes this three-piece porcelain, enameled plate set from 1966, commemorating the completion of a Toyota Motor Sales building during that year. I don't believe these were offered for sale - I believe...
Well, Whitey was right. It was time for the acorns. Got the spare in there, overflow bottle, hood support, a 63 bezel, and red belts. Still looking for 1 more to complete a set. Got a few more bolt ons, but chatting with the painter. So...
Well well......It was a good day for the LV. After 18 months or so of hard work, sweat and sourcing parts, it moved. I drove it out of the shop for a quick test drive. I was sitting on a box, but hey. I couldn't wait to install the front...
Some more LV progress. Spent some time this week mocking up some stuff. Installed and adjusted doors, 33" tires, mounted the 55 mirrors with m8 nut-serts. The rear is bit raked even with a leaf taking out. Going to adjust with different...
Finally, a pic of the front cowl, freshly built front disc, and some pics of the finished body work. Y-pipe turned out, took some redneck enginuetty......but hey. Going with the ypipe-single out.
A friend is working at a local college in their 3d shop and brought his super fancy, stupid expensive gun out to take measurements of some larger stuff and I sent him back with a stash of smaller items to create files on. Does anyone has...
