All the break lines are twisting off as I try to remove them so the going is slow getting the clutch and brake systems in
I've got the clutch done. It was frozen and I was worried it was the clutch itself but a new slave and master and its functioning as it's supposed to.

This saved my butt on a difficult flare nut if there’s enough room to shimmy the lines closer.

I have one. It's gold on trucks with crusty connectors
Most of the connectors up this way are crusty.

Working all over the place because I'm working with what I have in house for parts. Lots of boxes landing on Monday and Tuesday
I spent quite some time removing copious RTV deposits. He even had the valve cover gasket secured via
This would have been a problem.
I've got it all degreased and wire wheeled. I'm about to put a coat of paint on it and then start building it back up

Guilty party for allowing FJ to sit up. Life gets busy. No excuse to not maintain what you enjoy and take a cruiser for a drive daily. Blessed to have met Nolan. Higgins is on its rebirth journey!

Farting around today putting stuff on before more parts land.
Initially I thought the header that was on this thing was too corroded to reuse but I was able to clean it up and paint it and reuse it. New Remflex installed top and bottom.
I went ahead and plumbed the Sniper fuel system. All I need to run is the feed hose and wire the pump.

That braided clutch fluid line looks like a nice option. Is that a City Racer or the like product?

From another truck.
I stack the relays and mount to the fender. (Left circle)
I let the two blue things dangle between the fender and the battery

The cowl vent hoses were toast. Thankfully City Racer makes repos.
This is the style that go through the transmission hump.
The passenger side is a bitch. Had to pull the ash tray to see where I was stabbing.
