FJ 40, 1977 - restoring an icon

[Matake70]

Hi,

I would like to present to you my "dream car" that came true working on it for about 9-10 month over the years 2009 and 2010.

I purchased this car on e-bay UK and that`s how it looked like at the beginning :

The site limits the number of pictures you can post in a thread since you are new to it (max 3)
Option 1: buy a silver star from ih8mud.
Option 2: try again after you have made enough posts... I think it's 15+.
Option 3: use an outside site to store photos and link to the images (I don't know how to do this myself).
Option 4: start a new thread and link to it...


Hope it helps.

Option 3: use an outside site to store photos and link to the images

1. Go to imgur: the simple image sharer
2. In the "Upload images" box, click on "computer"
3. Select the image you want to upload (you can do this with multiple images at once)
4. Click "start upload"

Your picture has been uploaded to the internet!

5. Highlight and copy the text in the "direct link" box (should be a web address ending with a file name .jpg, .bmp, .png, etc)'

In the IH8MUD forum:

6. When you're creating a post in the forum, there are two rows of icons and boxes above the black text box area you're typing in. The one that looks like a landscape painting of mountains on a yellow background is the picture icon. Click on it, and paste the address text you copied from the "direct link" box on imgur.com. Click "OK"

And you're done!

If you need any help with uploading beyond that, let me know. I love to see before and after pictures.

My idea was to post the pictures gradually, accordingly to it`s evolution.......

Thanks, I didn`t know that ! I will try to post my pictures using Imageshack.

1. Go to imgur: the simple image sharer
2. In the "Upload images" box, click on "computer"
3. Select the image you want to upload (you can do this with multiple images at once)

And you're done!

Good to know for the future, but I`ve already used Imageshack....thanks !

Thank you, too ! Think I`ll made it by myself, but I`ll contact you if I don`t....


Ok.

Let`s go on with my story :

Looks like it has a lot of good potential!

I like the color combo. You going to/have you kept it the same colors?

Much rust in it for rainy old Brittan?

Did you keep the front looking chunky tyers on it all round or the street looking rear tyers?

Do you guys have to run a front number plate?

 

[IH8SAND]

OK looks like in the time it took me to write my post, you replied 1 minute before me!
LOL

Seems you painted it a different but awesome looking green.

Seems also you put on SUPER chunky tyers! (wish i had your originals.)

Also i really REALLY like your half doors. Where you get them from? I VERY MUCH would love to get my hands on a pair.

 

[mudlurker]

Beautiful job. She looks like brand new! I really like the stance/tire size. How big a lift did you give the cruiser, and what size tires? Did you restore the hard top as well?

 

[FJFOOL]

Nice job, I like that green as well. Just curious, do you have lift laws over there, such as SOA, etc.?

 

[Slow Poke]

Nice job! Any more pictures of the rear doors? I need to do something like that on my 77 to keep my dog from falling out the back.
