A new product I have found recently. Bowdens Three Way (iron decontamination product) works amazing for removing rust runs / stains. Spray on, wait for it to turn purple, light scrub with a green scotch brite, then rinse off. So easy and fast.

Fitted the custom leaf springs, extended shackles, late model diffs and the 255/85R16 and 16x7 Rims by @koxfarm to the FJ45V.
See this link for info on the rims.

I bought some 16x7 hub cap wheels from @koxfarm a few weeks ago for my 67 FJ45V. I finally got some 255/85R16 BFG KM2's fitted to them and mocked them up under the wagon. So stoked with the look of them.

Picked up my BJ42 from my mates place who did all the tube work for me. Next job is to fit the 2uz-fe and A750F.

Helped Brooksy from C44F building tube guards, sliders and rear flares on my BJ42 Middy.

Absolutely love how you have done those rear flares! Nice factory look and the added bonus of lots of strength. I'll be stealing that idea for my new project!!
I have done a few trips in the HJ45 lately. It's nice to finally use it after the 2 year restoration. I just updated my build thread with heaps of pics but a few of my favourites are below.
Twistys Aussie HJ45 Buildup/Resto
Thanks! I bought a rusty old standard bed, then had a local sheet metal company fold up some sides and tailagte to match the original profile. Then just built the rest myself. Was a massive job and ended up kinda expensive, but I am stoked with the result.
Thanks!
Drove about 50kms in the ute over the weekend with some of that on a local dirt track to give everything a good shake. Few things to tighten up and rattles to investigate now, but overall I am stoked with it.
