63 running (again)! (1 Viewer)

Well, it's been 2 years and 2 months since my rig's fuel system died. Many of you remember (and helped) at the 2007 45 Run.
Seems the PO got media blasted into the gas tank and from there it fouled everything. Had the local radiator shop boil and coat the tank, I painted it stock grey. Got an oem fuel pump rebuild kit, new element for the glass acorn, new rubber fuel lines (anyone source the oem line?) and rebuilt the original carb after the rebuilt replacement carb failed to hold more than an idle.
And now it purrs and revs like new!

I got a few small bugs to fix, but the biggest thorns are out of my side. I can't wait to drive any/everywhere.

Thanks to all my fj brothers for your help and information that has gotten me to this point! See you at the "10 45 Run"!

After sitting that long you might want to check the brakes... they don't like to sit.

pics from the 2007 fj45 Run, early fj fuel pump rebuild kit, cost me $33 plus shipping, I think there are 1 or 2 more available.
