Builds FJ55V : This little piggy came home.

[fre55h]

Man, I sure hope the rest of the rig that the floorboard came out of was junk.

Everything else was shagged. It had been in the wars.

 

[fre55h]

Spent the afternoon unpicking the spot welds.

 

[fre55h]

Back onto the A pillars. This one came in much better then the passenger side. Time to peice this all back together ready for the roof.

Home made sandblasting kit.
A Pillars looking shmick now! Ready for primer and the Copy skin to be welded back on.

Incredible accomplishment! You’ve gone to great lengths to save this pig!

What’s the plan for the roof?

Roof is being reskinned. I'm going to retain as much of the original roof. It's off to a professional to finish off.

Agree, I’ve started looking for aluminum low profile car hauler. This looks like nice option!
