I wouldn't want to be the sucker kneeling in the back dishing out the icecreams.

Can we see the engine please?

Is there a way to downsize my posted pictures.
Would like to show more stuff

Yes found it in Portugal, still from the first owner the voluntary fire brigade.
It was only used by a radius of only 15 kilometers around the station for car accidents. That's why it had only 39000 km on the clock.

I drove 3000 km back home with the car, took me two days but at least I know it's in good shape.

The car is undergoing a restauration now, fitted a side panel of a FJ40 in the side, and it sits beautiful. The rolling shutters are now removed.

So no more icecreams

If you buy a silver star you can instantly post as many pics as you want (and you get to help the site by giving the owner/administrators a few $).

Alternatively you can use an image hosting site.

And alternatively again, you can just wait and I think once you've posted on threads (other than your own) a certain number of times you automatically get permission to upload more pics too ... --- But I'm a bit unsure about the exact details of this way..

But it's been staring you in the face all the time ....

Whenever you visit the 40&55 series Tech forum (where you posted this thread) - it's sitting at the top of the page under the heading "Announcement".



PS. You're making me work hard for my engine pics .

 

[matt.mcinnes]

The forum is a wealth of information and a silver star is well worth it.

Oh and Fast Eddie, you should wash your mouth out with Ice Cream thats a think of real beauty.

TroopyHJ45 I will have a look into the shipping costs to you for the parts your looking for when I get back from Palm Cove and scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

Regards Matt
