Decided to finally try and clean up the OEM floor mat. Trying to get the rust stains out was tough, but using 303 spray and elbow grease has gotten me this far. I'll keep working at it. The tears are another issue.

Went and visited the Cruiser to see the progress on the re-build. Final fitting prior to paint, should be completed in about a month. Exciting to see the progress and the end in sight!

Just found your thread. Awesome work you're doing. I just picked up a new project. It's a 77 and will be red. Love the rhino liner. Good work!

It's been awhile since I updated, the restoration process has been slow going but got the 2F back from the rebuilder and they did 20 Dyno runs to break it in. Pulled 205 hp and 260tq! Pistons, Cam, and fully balanced. Going FI once completed. All sheet metal fixed and primed, frame building and final paint in the works.
Looking good!

Progress... yes. I think a bunch of people saw the video on IG of my 40 starting with the new Dakota Digital gauges and FiTech fuel injection. The Land Cruiser Shop is doing a great job with my build and I’m hoping it’ll be wrapped up this year. Final paint and assembly coming up.
Nice thread! I am assuming the Landcruiser Shop was helping out out on some of this? Joe does a great job!
