Builds Goat. A 1967 survivor FJ-45 LWB (4 Viewers)

[Godwin]

@Godwin camped out at the shop last night on his way to catch some lizards and s***. I put him to work helping me put the 2F on a pallet and move the Goat into temporary housing.

I was planning on getting the new motor this weekend but Rory is not ready for me. I’ll take the down time to clean up the engine bay and make sure all the new parts are in place

Gonna waste more money on a boat anchor 2F. You're halfway there, LS swap it.

I was thinking a Ford 302

I’m not sure how if anyone understands how hard it is for me to have my favorite Land Cruiser mortally wounded and just sitting for 4 + months.

Well I finally got a break in shop work to get the Goat 3.0 project started.

I really want to see the Goat back under its own power soon, probably not as bad as you do Nolan…get after it

Me too. Blessed I’ve been busy enough that I’ve been able to ignore the Goat.

I moved my 45 out from under the lean to on Thursday after sitting there for about 3 weeks. Pop the hood to work on an electrical short and notice something out of the corner of my eye. About a 4 ft long snake drops out from under it and slithers into our garage. Keep working and then out start dropping the mice as well. I guess the mice did something to my right side turn signal wire, but haven’t found the short yet.

Pains me to put this dirty ass trans/transfer back in here but it shifts great and doesn’t leak.

Getting it all back in place.

The Master at work….i like it.

 

[wngrog]

I’ve notified the Wizard that he needs to come tie this header in with a new Flowmaster cat for me

PowderKeg Cerakoted my header for me

 

[wngrog]

Added the driveshafts and some small other items before the Wizard showed up to make my exhaust whole

 

[wngrog]

Done and done.

Nolan, our 70 series stuff is cool, I’m caught up in it as well with my HZJ75 but…..nothing cooler than a FJ45LPB especially the GOAT….just saying….glad to see it back in the game and more GOAT pictures to come especially in the wild soon……….well done.

Gotta love RED…..
