Several months ago, the forum helped me source some recs for experienced mechanics to help me with a complete A to Z look through on my '78 FJ that we've owned since '83. Grant Simmons' name consistently came up and he's had my cruiser for a few weeks and is doing a top notch job. (see the...

Many thanks to all for the help with suggestions and the responses. Several replies suggested fixing the rust but not doing a full repaint. Since I couldn't post all of the photos originally, I couldn't show that the doors and other areas have some oxidation down to bare metal. See this link...
