FJ 40 SWB 1980 2F DOWN UNDER 500Nm (Alpine Challenge Photos)

Hi to one and all,

I was having a look through the various write ups on this forum which lead to insparation for the new wings which we now sport.
I thought I would post a link to my trucks build up. As well as post a few bits on here in the future.

So for those who follow the link and enjoy leave a post saying hi from a comp truck down under.

Best Regards Matt
