    Quality shop in SF Bay Area for partially complete FJ40 rebuild project?

    The only way you will cut into most shops 2-3 year+ wait list is going to be to pay about double their usual hourly rate. So get ready to pony up $200-300hr. to skip to the front of a line IF anyone will do that to their other customers who have been in line for 2+ years. What is left that...

    Quality shop in SF Bay Area for partially complete FJ40 rebuild project?

    Good luck, theres not a shop within 3000mi. that will get you anything in a year or less. even if u pony up 120k+ for an Icon...it wont happen!! You are muuuuuuuuuuch better off paying for one already done and it will be far cheaper even at 60k. just speaking the truth.....anyone that...

    no clue on brand//// I went to West Marine and talked to an employee about what i was trying to do. gelcoat for fibreglass top. i think theres two choices...a waxed and non wax gelcoat. waxed is for a mould and is a release agent. non wax is essentially paint on

    f1.5 no start / dizzy i.d.

    so to clarify......i dont know what dizzy the p.o. put on(thats currently on there) I do know that i ordered a f1.5 cap for my 1974 model year from Cruiseroutfitters and when it came.....it didnt fit. So my guess is the p.o. put a non74 dizzy in at some point. im pretty sure i need just...

    1972 fj40 fst restoration.

    My very first cruiser - a 72 fj55 was two tone in Pueblo on the lower. and after 40 years it looked absolutely nothing like that. Most people thought it was like a chcolatey version of dune beige..... but that cruiser sat in sunny ol Bakersfield its whole life and was sun baked beyond...

    Holley Sniper 2 barrel conversion

    anyone running these have any data on fuel economy improvements on the 2bbl kits? Or is this just a $2k mod for Prius/cruiser owners to get that first turn of the key prius startup?

    1972 fj40 fst restoration.

    cadet blue and either a tan canvas or white would both look great. Coral would be a bit over the top for sure.

    1972 fj40 fst restoration.

    oooh....color choice is gonna be hard. I always wanted to see my steelies like yours in that machine grey on a white cruiser. and i just saw these maroon seats on a blue cruiser and it was a badass combo.

    Dumpie rises from the ashes

    Given that you have cash in hand on a settlement.....id replace it with another and spend your spare time improving an already running /driving version. If you are gainfully employed - this would easily take 2 years and lots of frustration.....id only tackle something this big if i had a...

    White other than Cygnus White for roof top?

    the 2 part Gelcoat i had been recommended didnt need to be sealed from air.. I do recall reading somewhere that the toyota topmaking process used the gelcoat sealed as the release agent and im betting those were a longer curing process. the boat painter guy prepped his boats and sprayed them...
