Pistorman's 1970 FJ40 build

[Pistorman]

Here's the "new" rear heater. Took it apart to take the housing parts to the powder coater.

Just compare the heater cores, "new" and old.

Thanks bud, they are going a little slow, they are working on the gutter now, but I'll up some pictures of new stuff going on.

The flaps are sold on ebay.

Its finally coming together. The doors are being fitted. Somethings come on and some off, few retouching, etc. It just takes time and time... but it should be done this week.

Here's an OEM tank brand new I didn't use but will sell.

I also had the steering box removed for rebuilding, I bought new bearings, same for control arm, new rebuild kit is coming onto it as well.

Hardtop gutter was welded and repainted.

More pictures... Hard top coming together, some parts still in powder coating, such as front light housing, etc. Had glass "tinted" with a very low tint, designed only to block harmful rays, not light. Doesn't look dark, but rather a little like modern glass.

Really Nice Build. You're making a lot of us look Bad. That thing is Show Room Condition. Nice Work.
