We mounted the tires and put them in the cruiser yesterday. Also painted the windshield and installed it. Still a couple more thing to do....here is a picture from last night.....I did not think it was going to rain so early today so the rain got it this morning.....

 

[Flinny]

Almost done!

I have at least 2 more weeks of work before I can enjoy it!!

here is a pic with the soft top on

I really like the look of that Cruiser with the soft top on it. Is the bezel on upside down?

 

[fj40z]

Wow, that looks great!

Lookin' good Sol and Juan. Can't wait to see you guys again soon...

It has a square bezel, can a square bezel be upside down?

 

[rutbeer]

Much like a cat or hot buttered toast, the correct side will always try to land down. If the bezel is on upside down, then the force of it trying to right itself may cause you to roll your cruiser unexpectedly.

BTW, if you strap hot buttered toast, butter side up, to a cat's back and drop it, it will just hover about 1foot above the ground and spin.....a perpetual motion machine.

Absolutely hilarious! That may have to go in my sig line.

So the gas tank is set up and ready to be filled.
The brakes lines are in and ready to bleed.
The clutch slave will be rebuilt this weekend...

What I need know is how to figure out the wiring!! I bought a battery today....connected it and none of the accessories worked. I have a few connectors hanging that I have no idea where they go because i dont see the other matching connectors...I will take some pics tomorrow to see if you guys can guide me on that.
Also need to figure out the accelerator cable assembly on the cowl. I need to get a pic of the bracket and how is attached to the tub


I installed the roll bar this weekend and finished some details...

Here is a pic so far.

 

[fj40z]

WOW that is really looking good! When I had my 40 I had to do some work on the throttle linkage and I looked at SOR's catalog. It has some very good parts diagrams. I think they have all the diagrams on line as well.

 

[Flinny]

I will check into that Thanks

 

[flounder]

That is sweet! Great job Maria

 

[addicted56]

Looking Great. It will be up and started in no time.

 

[Flinny]

Thanks for all the Feedback.


I have to said that I cheated this past weekend since we were working on Samurai we picked up on Saturday...... That took the focus from the 40. I will be working on it this week though!!!

 

[worldcruiser]

I got to say that I witnessed the unbelieveble .....my wife doing a two day half frame off restoration on a samurai. I did help but I am still not sure how she pulled it off. Hopefully she will post some pics. All I got to say is that Sand dune Beige on a sammy looks pretty interesting....Sorry Greg...black wheels again..

 

[southerncruiser62]

We need pictures.
