1982 FJ-40 military edition FJ-40 Restoration

[JohnnyC]

Yes it was made locally in Karachi, Pakistan. Luckily the original frame was intact when we got the vehicle so just had to get the Soft Top stitched from a guy who specializes in cruiser tops..

the top did come out great ...nice job indeed... looks a bit more higher end material

In Karachi was it Shamsi or Nizam that made it or somebody other?

Glass work in the rear doors

Thanks Pete unfortunately the Window work was done outside of our workshop and im still kicking myself for not taking the Photos. The process is not that difficult. We first had the canvas material screwed and pasted onto the barn doors and left the window space empty instead of using the clear plastic. We then sent it to our glass guy who cut two pieces as per the size of the windows. He then applied the rubber insulation and fit the glass inside it.

Having the glass there looks great and makes a huge difference on the visibility!

I will make sure i get pictures from our next project which is hopefully starting by the end of this month

hope this helps.

take care
Ahmed
