Gossamer- '87 FJ60 aka "The Red Monster"

[The Phoenician]

Are you going to make an attachable basket that goes on the ladder?

Looks like I may get to play in the shop on the 80 and possibly sand down the rest of Goss tomorrow. WOOHOO!! I am ready to spray some epoxy and see what my monster really looks like..

Looks so fine J! I like the clean look of your rear bumper sans side wings too.

My eyes really like the height that you that tire mounted on that bumper. My back will not.

That's why you lift with your legs .

You should put a hinge on the tire mount so it swings down

Thanks D, do you have pics of the gas shock and latch for the table? Curious to see that.

Not really tech.. but too damn funny and sad at the same time not to post up... My neighbor came over and asked if I'd heard a crash last night.. Well apparently they had a party and someone drove home drunk... OUCH...

Looks like the "hitter" left some evidence behind...

DAAAAAAAAAAAANG. I would bring down physical violence on the "friend" that did this. Funny as hell when it happens to someone else though

Gotta suck! Poor guy just had the PS door repaired at the bodyshop.. His kid clipped it backing out of the garage..

Are those lock strips just for the rear 1/4 windows? Do they make something for the front windshield to get rid of the chrome?

This kit is for the side cargo windows, windshield and rear hatch. You can buy individually or a complete set.

Lots to do next week so I "layed out my clothes" for the week, so to speak.. Spent some time this morning getting things pulled from the stock pile. Finally removed that dorky fender exhaust... It is straight piped now and I can't tell one bit of difference in the sound... So, when I run it to the rear and put a good muffler/resonator on it we will see..

Hope to get some of this wiring under control as well... If nothing else, cleaned up and in some wire looming.

Cleaned out the inside and moved parts to another area. Have plenty of rust repair to do on the inner fenders and floor pans too.

Have a great Sunday guys,

J
