Builds My 78' Barn find FJ45 (3 Viewers)

No sir. The air will flow through them both. This is standard OEM installation practice.

Bumper looks great! Much cleaner then the orginal test fit haha.

The AC condenser looks like it was made for your radiator. That's the way I want mine to turn out. Nice work!

 

[Michael B]

Thanks Brett! We cut down the height of loop on the final design.

 

[Michael B]

@abtx4x4 I ordered the condenser from eBay. I got a width that closely matched the outside dimensions of the radiator support and found one 11" tall. Then I made my brackets.

Good to know

@cult45 Hey Daniel check out what one of my good mates picked up for me!

 

[Michael B]

My new powder coater came through like gang busters. He completed my job in less than 24 hours for $20.00!

I had my machinist make an adapter for my heater so I can use a small flex hose in place of my heater air box. Now I can rotate the AC unit up a little higher in the back.

mmmmmmmmm...............billet porn

 

[cult45]

SA as in South Australia?

 

[Michael B]

Yes.

 

[cult45]

Nice one! I'll see if I can acquire a NSW or a NT one for you. The NT ones are colour of Uluru!

 

[Michael B]

Sweet! Thanks Daniel.

My painter came through with my 79' bib. Hopefully the third time is a charm.

 

[Michael B]

More parts just in from Toyota. Remote axle breather tubes and headlight tensioner springs.

 

[Michael B]

I built the bib out as far as I can go. The bezel hasn't been delivered yet, so now we wait! I got the axle breather hoses installed and the drive shaft painted. I also installed the jack. It turns out, by pure dumb luck, that I spaced the locker cables far enough apart that the jack lays down between them. Hmmmm...

Oh I forgot to mention I also purchased one of City Racers TPMS kits. I'm rather impressed with the packaging. We will see how it performs.

 

[Michael B]

More goodness from City Racer! Thanks @Racer65

 

[Michael B]

I think I need to paint this. It's going to be too bright under the dash.

I love the mesh head light protectors. Very classy and era correct in my opinion. I reckon I'll do the same thing and see if I can track down a venetian blind for the back window. The finish line must be insight.
