Build My Willie (Toyota Land Cruiser HJ-61 thorough build)

[odingski]

Fitting the repaired bumper extensions before sanding.

 

[odingski]

All sanded and washed ready for the next application.

Awesome Work ! Looks like just out of the factory !

 

[odingski]

More body filling.

 

[87CRUSR]

This is a true transformation. It gets better and better. Grats

 

[odingski]

Final before painting.

 

[odingski]

Just a little more refinement and I am done.

 

[odingski]

Glued the S/S plate to the bumper extension. After that is done, I need to bore holes for the carriage bolt that will attach the extensions to the bumper.

 

[odingski]

Tried on the front extension bumper.

 

[odingski]

This nightmare is about to be over. I got the engine running with all circuits working. I just got a thorn off my back.

 

[odingski]

Built the outlet duct for my evaporator.

 

[odingski]

The bull bar is up and would like your opinion if I leave it stainless steel or a flat black color??

 

[jgoptions]

I vote for black.. If you can use plastidip it would be nice so you can always return it to stainless steel when you get tired of the other one.. Just peel it off no need to sand anything after..

 

[Supermarine]

I vote for stainless steel ! much more impressive ! and it will give more contrast with the rest .

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Wow!!

Stainless

 

[odingski]

Got all bumper extension front and rear set. I will paint and finalize installation.

 

[odingski]

I just repaired the firewall insulation and installed it. I took off the original fiber and replaced this with a double sided bubble type insulation.

 

[odingski]

With the firewall insulation installed, the dashboard support is next.

And a new dust boot for the steering shaft.

 

[odingski]

Got the rear extension bumper installed.

 

[odingski]

Got the dashboard on temporarily. Still need to finalize to wrap the harness. I also need to install the aircon.
