    There were really no surprises during the tear-down of this one. Pretty much all stock and all there.

    As you can see, its pretty much all stock with the usual amount of rust for a non-rust belt 40 of this vintage. Just ripe for a resto.

    This 1977 FJ40 followed me home in 2018, shortly after I finished up the blue one. 71,000 original miles and it was purchased new in Colorado Springs.

    Rear fenders were cut out to allow for the larger tires. Also trying to get my hardware selections in better order.

    Satisfying to see the top color coat going on. Layed down nicely.

    In the meantime, the engine came back from the machine shop, was painted and set back into the chassis.

    Decided to go with the original color of Sky Blue and the entire bottom of the tub was sprayed with tinted EZ-Liner for better protection.
