Sorry, at this time I am not saying where I am at!

Finished up the front end today. New u-bolts were the last thing. Everything is torqued to spec and good to go. I do need to chop of the u-bolts and bleed the brakes more but that is it. I am very happy with it.

Dropped off the seats and door panels today at the upholstery shop. Having them done up like this,

Taking it to an injection shop on Monday to have iT tuned and whatever else it needs.

Replaced rear axle seals, was going to do the bearings too but they look fine. Cleaned up diff cover, it was painted blue! Removed all old silicone and resealed the diff. Doing brakes with new OEM pads and back end is done, wheel cylinders look almost new. Drums are being turned down. Change all fluids in the truck besides engine oil but have OEM filter so fresh engine oil and filter happening soon.

By the way this is a non-FF rear axle.

I did rattle can the diff cover just to keep it from surface rusting real bad.

Drove the truck over to the injection shop today. First drive since all the work I have done. It drives way way better!!

Seats turned out pretty good too.

Found out the 2H in the HJ47 had 3B injector nozzles in it. Putting in brand new Toyota/Denso 2H nozzles.

Hello,

Looking good.

"Adapt" or "use a different type that fits," instead of "replace with the same part," seems deeply ingrained in the mechanics' minds in that part of the world. However, it is a good reason to keep tinkering/repairing/restoring...

Truck looks great, very cool project! Never heard of "Goodride" tires before, as they common down there?

I don't think they are very common here. I tried to find two in the town I am in to match the fronts. Fronts being radials and rears mud tread. I was unable to find them. In the capital I am sure I could find them but I m 3hrs from the capital city here.

This Cruiser is now on US soil! It took awhile but early next week it will be at my buddies shop in California.

Not many HJ47 pickups in LHD on US soil. I am looking forward to seeing it again.
