Good looking build, can't wait to see it finished.

Nice build. One off topic question: how did you get the emblems off the back of the lx?

 

[bdyer12]

It is just double sided tape. But they crack when you remove them

 

[bdyer12]

Time to work

Got back on the cruiser, post pics in the morning, should be driving in a few days

[bdyer12]

pics i need help with

i have a black and red wire off the starter shown in pic i don't know what it goes to, i assume it is a ground. I have a black and yellow wire at the alt. that i don't know what it is, also assume it is a ground. About 1' back on the harness from the alt. i have a black and yellow that plugs into a fusible link and don't know what it goes to but i assume it is a ground. any help is appreciated.

starter wire

The blue wire you are holding with the condensor in line is a noise filter for the radio. It bolts up on a coil mounting bolt. It's a ground.

Hard to see in the pic, but the little plug above the starter is it the oil pressure gauge sending unit possibly?

The thin black wire off the alternator starter on mine had a spade connector and was left unplugged.

Hope that helps.

The drivers side floor pan was worse than i thought. I ended up having to fabricate a new frame mount as well. While i was doing this my daughter was painting the gas tank and a few other pieces. Then she decided to shot bow. She is learn and getting better.

That's the thing about '40s...they're always full of surprises
You do great work! She will be a proud young lady with way more experience than most boys her age!

My daughter is almost 17 now, and has been riding in our '78 since she was 1 year old...she knows very well what an FJ40 is and how it is so much more (and better) than a Jeep of any flavor!

Having a wonderful build with your daughter is the bomb...very wise move

Doesn't the wire from Alternator go to the Coil / Igniter?

 

[Splangy]

Doesn't the wire from Alternator go to the Voltage Regulator.

The regulator is built into the alternator in an '82 (and your '81)

bronco

Also, if anyone know anyone who wants a bronco that is just as clean send them my way. you can see it in the back ground.

 

[Chamba]

Pm details on the Bronco to me. I have a mate in Australia who is looking for a clean '69.

Found this schematic which seems clearer (borrowed from Coolerman)
