its done, its been done.
the last pics above were last thursday
it sits in my garage, I think 2800 miles from when I bought it to its current 49400 miles.
there is nothing left to do.
cosmetics would be next, but I dont want to do that, it is too nice, all original paint etc. cosmetically it is not perfect, but I cant justify it on this one.
I have done the cosmetics before, like this one, but it was beat, and left for dead so it was the right thing to do on this 69:

i could do that cosmetic work to this one, but it wouldnt be the right thing. this was my forever 40, looked for a very long time to find it, took my time with it. it is very nice, and I wish I could keep it, but I cant.
reason I am selling, is the same reason I sold for a loss my 65 fj45lpb last year I bought from clemsoncruiser.

1969 FJ40 hot mess to minty fresh or..spring green fresh?
I joined facebook to document this. but I've tired of facebook. So i'll be transferring all this over to here for future reference. A bit of background: a buddy decided he wanted to do a group project to rescue an fj40 and preserve it. Well... yea. 2 years later it's almost done. This...

Me likey.
That's very impressive, I like the quality of work and the passion with which you do it. If only I had more bays in the shop and wasn't married I would buy it cause it is cool and you can only have original once
Beautifully done. I’m sorry you have to sell.
Absolutely beautiful restoration.
You are unbelievable in your detail, Mike! I love this 40.
BaT would eat this thing up.
Man I wish I could swing this right now. I can just see the look on my wife’s face when I told her I was flying out to Denver to buy another Land Cruiser. GLWS.
