I did test that at one point and no life, but was a long time ago so may attempt that again. Odds are though it’s dead dead.

I should say, I already have a Corolla window motor replacement on hand to swap in here. Just need to get it all out first!

I’m not fussy or fancy but the ‘ole garbage bag window fix might need to be replaced by a better solution. I’ve searched and seen solutions for this if fully open, but haven’t come across one if the motor has died with the window open only 3-4 inches. Is there a way to easily get the window...

I didn’t refresh ground strap cable or any other connectors BUT I was under there inspecting it all, cables covered in grease, looking tired, so got a shopping list going. Near future plan is to replace all battery cables, get a fresh ground strap, grind down surfaces to get fresh metal for...

More fighting, rust chips, oil drips in eyes, mouth, face - and more choice words - but new starter is in! Charged up the battery, fired up right away like a champ! Sort of caught me off guard as old starter was quieter and deader, clinging to life. New one has got the dramatic spice, very...

It’s the big day. FJ has been parked since pre-covid but I’m bringing her back to life! To my amazement, she fired up after two starter chugs and idled like a champ despite blowing out settled rust and cobwebs. BUT she’s got a starter issue… sometimes she starts, sometimes she doesn’t. So...

Still soggy out but had to see it slapped on asap. Not Bad! Will look better one day with matching black bumpers.

Hey thanks. While not perfect, I think it turned out as good as expected, maybe even a little better than expected tbh. I'll post some final pics of the beast with her new face on at some point. Can't wait to see it all together.

I think that just about does it. Even used my wife's nail polish for the white logo, truly fitting for this pavement princess. Side lights cleaned and repainted with fresh silver. All nice and clean now. Ready to bolt this face back on the Beast.

It's not just good, it's good enough.
