It sat for a month while I worked on getting a new upper and lower front fender on the passenger side. Got that done. Went to move it, and the brake pedal went to the floor....busted driver side rear wheel cylinder.

That'll be next.

I feel your pain. Just had to do that last week. Currently prepping both fenders for the patches and hopefully getting those on this weekend. Seems like we are doing things in reverse order

Either way, gotta get it done.

What wheel cylinders did you use? I'm most likely gonna go with the ones from Rock Auto.

The wheel cylinder job go ok? Any tips/tricks?

We used the cylinders from Cruiser corps. Pretty straight forward job, the adjustment took some time and we made it a little harder on ourselves because we decided to bleed the cylinders as well. Brakes still have a little play in them but at least they work and I wont be having to run off the road to stop
 
I drove my pig today for the first time in about a year. I installed the Trans and transfer case last week and did a couple other things to it. It was nice to drive it again. I now need to replace the rear heater core hoses and it should be good to go. My pig also made Toyota owners magazine

I drove the pig to work this weekend...I do love driving her, but man I need to do a brake job and work on my steering box.....43 years of slack in that unit....
 
Drove her to her new pen last week- she did fine altho I prolly need to adjust the rear wheel bearings...the new pen has level ground, and this stuff called conctreet? it is real hard and smoov and I was able to roll my loaded cherry picker INTO THE GARAGE from the driveway w/o having to lay down plywood and rent helpers...it's pretty cool stuff...you guys should look into it.
 
Have changed my muffler, needed hours of work to adjust everything. Sooner have attached my homemade emblem. As every 2 weeks we have been ito Germany with kids to buy cigarettes then checked tire pressure then gone to KFC and home. As I was going out of my driveway a guy in a vintage car horned me. Smile.

I get tired of smoke too, espescially exhaust smell in the piggie, I have fixed the exhaust pipe this we, it still smells. perhaps it comes from the rear doors?
