What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (47 Viewers)

Now that ive got the two major rust blisters patched up on the passenger rocker, it’s time to start thinking about filler and paint. When I bought the bottle of touchup paint, I also ordered a spray can of Pluto beige. A little light bulb moment made me realize that I shouldn’t assume that what is in the spray can will also be a match for the body, even though the bottle has been a home run so far. So, I decided to do a test yesterday.

I pulled out the two weatherstrip channels from the overhead bows yesterday, sanded them with 1200# and shot them with the can. Not the whole channel; just the exposed part. The part that has been shielded from sunlight wedged against the inner bow made for the fairest test of the color match. Two stage: two coats of color, two coats of clear.

Dead ringer. Couldn’t be happier.

Sucked out the brake and clutch reservoirs, filled with new fluid, and gravity bled at the wheels, to get new brake fluid into the system.

Used a kit from

Straight Electric Power Steering Kit - ePowerSteering - https://epowersteering.com/purchase/product/straight-kit/?v=84de8e2b14bb

and some leftover parts to build a ‘71 EPS system. Not pretty yet but fits.

Every time I see a link for something I feel like I should click to see it, but part of me thinks Barry Wood is going to be on the other side of that link…
