Could the guy who made your floor pans form those pieces up or are you still going the ute option?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, what's the plan?

I've had to bring it back to my house. I'm going to give a crack of doing the smaller items, but the roof will be done by a shop. Just needs I'll need to learn how to work the strip pole to pay for it.

Give Paul Read a call, he has 2 55's in the yard and that's where the donor cuts for mine have come from. Unfortunately I may have beat you to the drivers A pillar, but the other donor might still be good.

Thanks Man, He's at the AutumnOCKA atm, but his FJ55s had less then desirable roofs. See iff anything comes up

Decided the new work truck needed 33s and a 2" lift.
This is the maximum I am able to "legally lift" the shorty under Australian law.

I don't ever recall seeing a turbo on a 2f.

I got a "Like" back here on page 1 and saw your post Ron - this is a pretty epic turbo 2F build - worth the read: Builds - 2F + (3F-E) = 2FETI Into My FJ40 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/2f-3f-e-2feti-into-my-fj40.134529/

Took the 1960's Viscount Caravan for a tour this weekend. New South Wales is seeing massive flooding so we had to relocate it.

4 months dude.. better ratchet strap that roof on.. either that or fab a roll cage and run as is.. either way.. better gut busy to make ocka 2021

Well, after 3 years of bouncing around work shops and life getting in the road, I finally have the FJ55 home in the driveway.

It will have a few electrical bits worked on whilst I wait patiently for my new rust repairer for the roof. I have a few small things to tackle before I can go for a drive.

- Leaking Clutch Cylinder.
- Leaking output Shaft from the Transfer Shaft.
- After Market Glow Plug Timer.
- New Glow Plugs.
- Fluids and Service.
- Finish the Catchcan system.

Below - HPD Catch Can to suit 80 Series Booster.

Below - Rocket Cover connected to Catch Can. Secondary hose to be run into Intake Pipe.

OCKA '21 sounds like a big deal, eh?
