I am finally the owner of a '72 FJ40 (cheers and ). Body is in awesome condition and the motor needs to be rebuilt. Just wandering if you 40 guys can give me advise on how to support the body after I have removed it from the frame, so I am able to work on it as well?? I am new at all this total restoration business. I have built up a '62 but that was not near as much work as what this 40 is going to be.
Also, the removable rear cab needs to be replaced. I was looking at sor.com at their fiberglass roof and side cab panels. Any thoughts on the fiberglass rear cab and if they are worth the money?? Are these going to be a hassel to work with??
One more question. The doors I have for the '72 fj40 are half doors and the original full doors with the windows that slide up and down. I want to get doors that have a lock on them and a roll up window. Does anybody have any suggestions for some new doors?? I also saw the fiberglass doors found at sor.com and was wondering if they will fit the '72 model and if they are worth the money?? Thanks for your time and information guys.
