Thanks,
I am sure that the guys painting wish it was spring -- even down here the cold the past two weeks have made for a heck of a time.

Hopefully tomorrow the green will get sprayed.

Green!

Finally warm enough to shoot the green.

I so love that color! My favorite for sure. If I wasn't so obsessed with restoring mine to factory, that's the color I would choose. Looking great!!!

Nice progress, looks great. Hope you don't mind me asking, what did you paint the rims and bumpers w/? Can't wait to see pics of it on the road, good luck with the kinks.

I think he hit it with rims with rattle can black just before I picked it up, I will have pics on later of the fj60 wheels i have for it. I think the bumpers are rattle canned too.

The interior is very dirty, I have a stack of door panels to take and have recovered or to use as a template for new ones, the seats are in good shape, only need a good cleaning. Once I get my electrical woes taken care of, I will get the interior cleaned up and looking smooth.

That's looking awesome!!!!!
I love the green

 

[Buckethead]

Well I had tried to sell the pig (stupid me) but I am going to try to hold on to it.

I should have some more pics soon.
I have a few things I want to work out and then I will be able to enjoy it.

Nice post. I am thinking seriously about buying a 71' this week. Did they come with a 4 sp tranny? The one I am looking at has a 3-sp and is supposedly stock. Thanks.
