Sold my 45 last year to focus on other aspects of life. Then after a bout of lymphoma a friend bought me a get well present. So here we are!

Tbh I’m kinda excited. Have always wanted a coiled 40 but have never seen one like this.

1985 RJ70 chassis.
1963 - 1974 FJ40 body.
FJ60 power steering.
Maybe a brake upgrade.
Some kinda engine, very likely a 3F/H55F.
Rewire front to back (keen to do this myself!).
KM3 235/85R16’s on clean BCI rims.

Design is inspired by military 40 series. Might even stray down the Japanese military route. Not sure.

Day one done and dusted.

Couple before and after snaps.

🍻

These rigs were my inspiration.

That’s a cool project. I’m sorry to you haven’t been well. It sounds like you’re on the mend now. This project will be good therapy.

Thanks mate! Been a while since we crossed paths. How’s the 12H-T treating you?
 
How pitted is too pitted? Gonna have everything blasted.

So I was watching a way better welder than me on youtube today that does repairs - anyway he said his least favorite surface prep was "blasting" as it injects "trash" that comes out in your weld. Just a thought in case you need some repair in critical areas.

Too long my friend. The 12HT is still running great, thanks!

A fair point that I’d not considered. For me, the lure of working on something clean for the first time is too great 😆 I’ll just have to make sure the metal is super clean prior to any welding.
