Replaced the old booster with a new City Racer model. It was time.

Going OE.

Although, I never experienced any “issues” with the aluminum Rad. If anything it worked almost to well.

The body of Mule V.1, in all of its glory, is looking kind of forlorn in the background.

There can never be another . Although, it will have a second life in Ky on a 77. Picking up right where it left off.
Kinda fitting IMHO..

Lower dash going in..

Color matching for the silver bits inside and outside the cab for consistency. Pretty sure Toyota used an Ouija board to mix the various Silver and Cygnus hues throughout the production years.

Clutch and brake lines are on. Old MC is a place holder IOT build lines. Advics MC in bound. Pics are a little fuzzy but you get the idea.

Did you bend the lines up yourself or buy? Firewall lines look nice and straight.

Listened to you today on “the podcast”.

Custom bent at RCLC. Shop picked up a straightening tool and put it to good use.

That firewall pass-through setup looks legit. Is that a custom thing?

It’s a vintage air bulkhead for the climate control, they make them for fuel lines as well.

I love that it is "The" podcast like the classic Land Cruisers podcast is the only one

Looking great and I had the same question about that firewall port. I have that straightener tool for the stainless lines and it works wonderfully. It’s an odd activity but most of us have practiced that before without realizing it will be good practice for a straightening tool in the future
