Builds 1995 full resto build (2 Viewers)

[SNLC]

So I am training a new guy, red 80 in the background getting a knuckle job. How’s that for a first job!?

Anyways, due to that and running the business I haven’t been cranking on this full time the last few days. However I have gotten organized and all the parts out to build the engine on the stand.

All new parts here besides the tone ring for the crank position sensor and the timing gear for the cam.

Timing case housing installed.

Cheers

Is that a new timing house case? Or is that just the vapor blasting? Looks better than new.

Nah man, 27yr old piece of Toyota Land Cruiser goodness. Vapor hones and clear cerakote. I love this style of refresh, the vapor and cerakote makes it as smooth as butter to the touch. Its like sheets on your bed with a 400+ thread count!

Hardware not new either, I just cleaned it up.

In the shop late tonight, did this real quick before I left. The screws here are new.

Cheers

Thats a lot of the point in a build thread. Useful info for ALL and documentation of the full build for the owner.

We all know trucks on BAT sell for more when you got full documentation.

I’m about to go down this road, and this is the color scheme I was thinking about doing, and you’ve done an amazing job. Keep up the good work!

How much would something like this cost me?

Kind of a WAG but full mechanical restoration without any exterior paint or interior work is probably going to be $35k.

Got all the old jute off the floor, hardware removed and all cleaned up. Moving into laying down dynamat now.

Not a spot of corrosion anywhere so we can just go for it here.
