Hi all,
Starting a thread on my newly purchased 1972 FJ40. It came half finished from Dom, who got sick of it and gave it to Big Dave.
Big Dave is going to help me get it ready to go.
Currently, the [updated] work list is:
* replace head gasket (only running on 4 cylinders at the mo)
* sand, prep and paint the hard top
* install heater hoses and rear heater
* find replacement dash (old one is toast)
* take gauge pod apart and replace broken glass. (everything else is perfect!)
* attach speedo cable
* attach choke cable
* replace cut parking brake handle
* replace a few cable connections
* run cable harness in chassis hoops
Seems that Dom chucked everything back together quick just to get rid of it, and didn't put everything back together again. So there are some loose wires, and un-connected dash buttons.
I'll gets some pics up soon.
