Thank you. Tires are 235/85-16.

Had to add this one too. Sat morning went to work and there was this perfect view and ligth. Had to take few pics.

Ha ha! You nailed it. Just remainds me of The Cars -movie (Pixar cartoon) that we watched like 100 times with my son. The cars in that movie are just like my pig princess. Yep. Thats spare tire crank.

More pics..

The floormat is fom local hardwear store. They sell it by meter. Rubber with stripes..

Also fixed bumbers, painted them and grils with correct beige color. The side grill is missing at this pic, because its drying after paint.

Now have new side panels in boot. I like them a lot.

Got it checked for road today. Here you need to have your car checked every year to keep it road legal. This haven't been on road for ten years. I did some test driving with temporary plates earlier, but now its road legal. Some pics from evening cruise.

The fan shroud is the original FJ55 shroud. As you can see from the pics is about 10 cm wider than the radiator.

Heating problem seems to bee solved. Haven't really drove it yet, just a bit on my yard. There is also a new waterpump so it should be fine. Yep, once I noticed the radiator didn't fit went thrue the forum about radiator and found out there isn't new ones available. The new FJ40 radiator is...

Had also bad heating problems. So changed thermostat with no help. Tried to clean the radiator and find out it was totally stuck. Ordered new one from Rockauto and once got it here noticed it was for FJ40 and didn't fit very well. Allthough delivery was extremely fast, made the order in sun...

Here are couple of pics of the exhaust I made. Volvo parts from Biltema total cost 100€.

Thanks! A bit off road.

Finally first time on the road - nice! But a lot of things still to fix. Still some heating problems and tires need to bee balanced. Carburetors secondary barrel most likely not opening. I think diaphragm is leaking. It looked like not properly working when I cleaned the carb. But it drives fine...

While waiting for the gasket kit to arrive media blasted head and valves. Valves grinded and some new paint.
