Fidget The FJ60--A Build Thread

[Beastiethe70]

When @joesfj40 asks if you're interested in a FJ60 that has been sitting for 25 years and has housed packrats for years of course you say yes!

Enter Fidget. Recently hauled out to Colorado and currently residing at Classic Cruisers we started some work at the annual stripper party. Thus a new FJ60 build thread begins.

So my first task was removing the carb so it could be sent off to @CruiserTrash for a carb rebuild. While the starter sounded strong when we tried to get Fidget to turn over clearly it wasn't going to happen this week. Big thanks to @POTATO LAUNCHER for helping with the carb removal. Didnt have quite enough strength to crack two of the nuts.

Hell yeah, this is gonna be a fun one.

Really surprised we couldn't get it going on the spot, but it'll be running soon. That starter is a damn hero, so you got that going for ya.

You need to get the BIG Ol' Bucket of elbow grease and get after it. It's all nuts and bolts my friend. You'll be Cruising Fidget very soon I believe.
