It’s been a long while, and not a lot to report. I still have Ann Marie and she is still in the works. Just got shifted to the side for a bit. In the next few weeks some big steps are coming.

Coolerman!! :beer:

I’ve been slacking on the updates. I have quite a few photos and info to update my thread. And I will soon. But first and foremost, she’s not getting painted. Right now she is completely stripped down. Drive train is ready to put together and get back in. She is coming along nicely. I will...

Thanks Mark. I have one shipping out tomorrow out of North Florida. Now that I have my drivetrain lined up I will be in touch soon for some more stuff i need. My most immediate need will be a new clutch to put this drivetrain together. Do you carry them?

Welcome To MUD Dave! :flipoff2: Congratulations on your acquisition and welcome to the madness! This is “Ann Marie”, my 71 that I rescued from two and a half decades under an oversized carport on the back side of a gentleman’s property.

My 78 had the seatbelt plug.

Wow, quite a description this fella put in there wasn't it? haha

Ok. I have one in DFW I need to check on. It’s a 2.5 hour drive for me.

How much would it cost to ship approximately?

North Texas

Bump

How much was that steering wheel?

I've said it before. He is Gandalf of FJ40 electronics. He is a, doubt him and he'll zap your ass, freakin wizard.

Coolerman, I have decided that you almost certainly are a hoarder. Note the date, time, and even day of the week.... In this case, and so many others on these forums, your OCD is to our benefit. :clap:

In case anyone is curious. I gave her the name “Ann Marie”. Back in middle school - early high school years, I had a huge crush on this little oriental girl named Ann Marie. She was gorgeous, smart and liked by everyone. Somehow seemed fitting.
