Coolerman's work on the electric harness is a TRUE work of love to these vehicles. I cannot express how well done it is. Much better than factory. Everything labeled, well packed... I am very fortunate to have had this harness done with Coolerman whom basically did this to favor the car we all love. Thank you bro!

Currently being installed.

[Pistorman]

Finally finished on the harness reinstall. Some questions here and there, but it all should work just fine.

I also had the a/c condenser prepped.

Its finally starting to come together, I'm dropping it off at the mechanics today for the engine reinstall.

 

[Pistorman]

One thing I need help is to restore my original horn button setup. I have a beautiful horn button but I am missing a lot of parts sadly. If anyone can help selling me some of this stuff please do.

Getting the engine reinstalled at Dallas Engine Rebuilders. These are last week photos.

I need to get a new blower motor, lesson learned, don't powder coat the inside of the blower motor

Someone a while back asked me about the Pete's Muscle cars (MB) Brake Boosters for the FJ40, well, just hoping I have no clearance issues with the air cleaner and it seems it'll work fine

I did all new brake lines and a all four disc brake conversion with JT Outfitters kits. It worked fine and no additional grinding needed with the exception of the OEM wheel rotor.

Just a sneak peak of my other wizardly project

 

[Pistorman]

Everything is looking great! If I were you I would get the AC condenser painted black.

Just one thing, I'm in Texas, wouldn't painting it black cause a lot of heat problems?

My 1974 F.5 engine in pieces, ready to be reassembled for going back in.

 

[Pistorman]

Hi everyone, well I'm just a "little" frustrated on getting my car done, the engine rebuilders is backed up (three months), so, I'm still waiting on my FJ40. Anyway, a while back I promised to update on my other cars, so far the Anglia 105e is basically all done and ready. Here are some photos for you. Best.

Wow! and double Wow! I had to drop in and see where this project was. Didn't realize that you already had the harness installed. Looks fantastic!
Any questions just email or call me.

As a side note: My house is about a month from completion then it will take me about a month to get set back up to do harnesses...
