Not a build tread but wanted to get a few pics out about the 74 FJ55 I've been working on.
Background is: I purchased it 2015. Original thoughts were, it's too far gone to invest any time or money on it. Just drive it and enjoy.
Fortunately/unfortunately I can't let things alone. I couldn't let this pig just rot away. First round in 2017 was a lipstick paint job. Patch any holes to pass PA inspection. Figured throw some paint on it and deal with the real rust later. Looks good but still had a lot of hidden sins.
Got the motivation I need when I noted Bob M was again making some replacement parts. Called Bob, drove to New Hampshire and picked up the much needed parts. Thanks Bob! One of the reasons to start the tread is to show Bob they're getting put to use.
I am not the skill on this project. I'm the labor and finance. Have a friend who likes to do body work on the side. He did my 86 FJ 60 and said he's up for the challenge.
I'll follow up soon with some continued pictures of the current progress...….Bill
