Does your wiper switch work? Mine was seized, so I updated to a later style, but I’ve always wanted to get it working again.

Speaking of switches… I am in the process of restoring my 60010 headlight rheostat switch.

It works just fine! To be honest with you I don't drive her in the rain!

I replaced the light switch but I was very unhappy so I looked for the original switch...$238.00 later

My biggest expense on her was the steering wheel!

I was one snap ring short lol. And then discovered a broken bolt…

@Jdc1 did you notice that those fingerprints are so clear and sharp?

Not sure I follow Al

What source on the braided brake lines?

Valley Hybrids- directly from axle to caliper

I replaced the clutch master cylinder along with the slave cylinder. I also moved the horn to the fender. Afterwards, I took off the steering wheel and cleaned all horn button contact points.

I’m replacing the motor mounts next week.

Fired her up after the re wire and then finished off the exhaust

 

[mef0629]

On the fence, do I paint those fender flares black?

@fj40fillet, Once you treat the rust what's the next step? Isn't the surface pretty rough for any type of coat

Nope. It will get three coats of epoxy primer then three coats of TCP Flatz Beige Enamel top coat. For exposed panels that I can see I do sand the rust treatment down a little with 220. I got some more work done over the past two days. A none gloss finish helps to hide my body work wtfs. LOL

The next task is the oil pressure sender, it started failing on me last week! And a new coolant reservoir...

Those are still available from Toyota!

 

[Trigger6]

Got the Trimeki back from the Cerekote shop. Went with the Tungsten color and it looks better than the photo’s with just a bit of sparkle/flake to give it a some bling.

Now my work begins and I’m glad its starting to warm up here as I plan to spend some serious quality time in the garage over the next several weeks.

Checked my tire pressure. All five tires were down to 20 psi. Turned out to be a bad gauge the tires are normal.

 

[dazerb]

Koito light upgrade accomplished. Toyota Matt for the relay/fuse brackets.

 

[Ackcruisers]

I tore down and restored a 60011 switch for 9/77-7/80. The 60010’s in my previous post are for 9/73-9/77.

The circuit board and contacts are different but everything else is identical.
