Mini build thread (1 Viewer)

[Pigeaten]

Since i am not doing much of my own build, I did not feel entitled to share whats being done on my pig. But there may be others who can be encouraged or use what I show. Disc brakes all around(FJ60) Ome suspension, power steering done.

Hey, who cares who does the wrenching, keep the pictures coming. Are you staying with the blue and white or picking something else?

 

[Pigeaten]

will stay with original colors and interior. 2F, 5 spd, fuel injection, differentials-3:73, AC-?. going to be my daily driver so no matter how tough my day is, i can have a smile on my face when I'm driving home

[Pigeaten]

Same specs as my 75 - may want to consider PS while you're at it. Makes it much easier for a daily driver. Have fun!

Don't forget the power steering...

 

[Pigeaten]

[Pigeaten]

[Pigeaten]

Moving again on pig, after body man cooled down

 

[Pigeaten]

here's a few pic of surprises under paint/bondo- some rust and front passenger area had been hit, also doors and fenders had some rust

 

[Pigeaten]

frame very clean, got it to epoxy primer

 

[scrapdaddy]

You're doing it right, finding all the bad spots now.

 

[Pigeaten]

still feel pretty lucky, as this pig only has a few spots. front fenders and passenger door had lots of bondo, will get pics tomorrow

Isn't this thread called"mini build". Not looking so mini! What's a big build thread- rocket engines?!
Nice work.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Isn't that what we all said in the beginning.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]
