The 60 Series Dingo Build (1 Viewer)

[thewilddingo]

Well folks, I pulled the trigger and joined the old Toyota club with the purchase of a 1987 HJ60. I have a long grocery list of changes and upgrades planned for the coming months so stick around if you're interested in the journey. Here is a shot of the dingo on day 1 before any changes have taken place.

Well folks, I pulled the trigger and joined the old Toyota club with the purchase of a 1987 BJ60. I have a long grocery list of changes and upgrades planned for the coming months so stick around if you're interested in the journey. Here is a shot of the dingo on day 1 before any changes have taken place.

welcome aboard this ship o'fools @thewilddingo , let me be the 1st to give you the official welcome n one more . cool to see another great white northerner in here. so what are the grandiose plans for this beast of burden?

 

[Gimme a 60]

Sweet! Love those old BJ motors. I’m from the Okanagan in BC!

 

[thewilddingo]

Work has been busy since the dingo project has come my way but I am excited to get things underway here pretty quick. I will be posting the plans for what needs to be taken care of on this beauty in the near future for now I will toss up a few pictures of the rig alongside a few other cruisers that are already in the family.

I put on some fresh 31'' KM3s and pro comp black steelies to start. My dog Peanut approves.

 

[thewilddingo]

Did some refinishing on my front hub lockers. This definitely has the wheels looking sharper. New front brakes coming soon!

 

[thewilddingo]

Wire wheeled/sanded down, cleaned, and decreased the drum brakes and refinished them with some high-temperature black paint. Now I no longer see all the rust peeking through my black pro comp steelies.

 

[thewilddingo]

OEM hub caps brought back to life

 

[thewilddingo]

And couldn't forget about the windshield wiper arms!

Right on, I am just outside Vancouver

 

[TheCndnCruiser]

I also live in Vancouver! Love it see the progress!

 

[georgebj60]

Vancouver here too. Keep the updates coming!

 

[thewilddingo]

Freshen up on the air intake system has it looking like a new part. Waiting on my new filter in the mail.

 

[thewilddingo]

Progress has been moving real slow these days due to other priorities in life, but I am slowly moving in the right direction. Passenger side fender is off for some dent and rust repair.

 

[thewilddingo]

Peanut continues to keep an eye on the dingo progress and thus far approves of how the project is coming.

 

[thewilddingo]

This was my first body work / rust repair attempt ever. The result is FAR from perfect but it's a heck of a lot better than how it looked before.

 

[thewilddingo]

Rear end work came out looking half decent. Small steps on this old girl

 

[thewilddingo]

Now I need to do something about that bumper.

 

[thewilddingo]

New calipers and pads because being able to stop is neat
