Builds Thread 'Short E 70 - Tilda Bogue Service Station'

Apr 30, 2024

I finally got myself some shop time and feel like it’s time to officially introduce ShortE

If you are following along in my current 75 build you have already seen pictures of this one. They rode across the pond the long way.

The first page of this thread will let you know the odyssey this thing took to get here.

Saudi 75 Too - Tilda Bogue Service Station

A year ago I was hitting my stride on rebuilding Rosie the 40 for my friend Brendan The engine had barely stopped ticking from his first test drive a few weeks later when our next project together was hatched….

Couple of things to point out

This was a .gov truck in Saudi. There is a ghost in the paint from the old logos. Gotta be looking for it.

There was some hail damage on the drivers side and the hood. I bought a new hood but did not fix the drivers side dings. There are 4-5

Small crease under drivers door.

Hole in the passenger side cardboard panel. They can still be found new

Passenger side rear seat has a stain in the material

Mechanically it is perfect. Zero issues. Fire and forget.

I don't know what that means but I like the exclamation point

Goofy internet way of saying "that's a lot of pictures"


And I'll add, a cool rig

 

[wardharris]

Hell yes!
Great rig, great builder/seller, great value! Try buying a clean/documented rig and building this yourself at this price. GLWS

Out of curiosity, what is the maximum highway speed at which this rig can cruise?

Out of curiosity, what is the maximum highway speed at which this rig can cruise?

I've driven it 95 mph pretty effortlessly

It's at 3000 rpm going 80. The 1FZ can stick 3000 forever with zero damage.

 

[Meshal]

With the 70s, once you get into the 1fz with h150s, you are driving a fully equipped car with speed in it like any modern car. Back home, you can see people driving those old FZJ70s passing 100 easily, "160 km/h".

With this build, I believe Nolen nailed it in a pretty sweet spot; LHD, period correct, solid body with mostly original paint, SUPER clean interior, and a pretty load of upgrades.
