It's a work in progress, but here is the before and after shots.

Its looking good. I was admiring it the other day when I was at your place. I almost removed the bezel to turn it upside down to see how long until you noticed it, but I was afraid of snapping a rusty screw. Its beginning to look too good to wheel, I could even feel the envy of your 62.
Going to be in Aiken for two months and would love to find a great tech to get a nasty cel issue resolved. I’ve had my rig since 98. It’s my dd but no time to do my own work. Just love the rig. Amy recommendations would be very alleeciated
Nice rig! Hit up Trollhole’s in Greenville. Marshall is awesome and is a wizard with the 80 Series.

Looking very astute there Josh. I'm gonna get new lenses with blue blocking this time around. I spend 90% of my working hours in front of screen, 90% of my time on the can looking at my phone and 90% of my time at home staring at the 40" screen :rofl:

So, I’ve added a FJ40 to the fleet! It’s a 1977 and I found it under a shed less than a mile from my parent’s house being stored by a friend from high school for a widow whose husband was killed in an auto accident. The owner was doing a resto-mod on it for his daughter. Before his death, he had installed an OME lift and new diffs with unknown gearing right now! It also has a Vintage Air ac system, Holley Sniper EFI kit, and a Dakota digital instrument panel. It has some work that needs to be done to finish it all up and a lot of body work. The po had purchased all kinds of new parts including a Gobi roof rack with all the add ons and an ARB “catcher’s mask” Bull Bar and I think it has a swing away tire carrier but I’m not sure of the brand yet! There’s also tons of weatherstripping and a headliner and all kinds of other little stuff! I’ve ordered a windshield and some Bestop seats for it and am waiting for them to come in. I’m gonna be needing a roll bar, and I hope Giraffe may have 1 I can use!
Nice
