Here is my green FJ. Just bought it about a week ago and it already has been stripped and the chassis is in being sand blasted and painted. I have been told it is a 71 model however after looking through this thread can not work out what the colour is.
This is El Macho, my pet wolf spider who lives in the top right hand corner of the outside of my passenger door on my Land Cruiser. He is eating a stink bug I threw in his web on the side of the door. His web gets destroyed when I drive around, but he fixes it up at night. He is leaving spinneret skid marks on my weather stripping. Does anyone know if this is going to leave a stain?

In the process of tripping of an old faded bad rattle can spray job, to unearth her inner beauty (653 Olive!!!!).

Out with the red, and in with the original Green! I can only one day hope that mine looks similar to @abernie67 's rig.
Don't mind the bizarre rims above, those will be swapped out with some steelies once she runs and is somewhat less crispy.
I'll post up a full write-up of techniques used, outcomes and tips after I get further along in this expirement.
