Wheeled it in Oz.

GOLD Star
Removed the DPO stereo mods and associated rats nest of wires. Also started ordering the laundry list of stuff I want to replace/update as I start my resto-mod.

SILVER Star
New ignition switch and harness connector. Took it for a spin with one of the hounds.
Finished routing the fuel lines up to the Holley Sniper EFI. I've struggled between braid steel covered, hard or soft lines. Eventually just went with soft lines. Installed the new O2 sensor in the new exhaust. Tried removing the water jacket plug from the side of the SBC block. Broke my favorite 3/8" breaker bar by using a cheater bar. The plug is stripped so I need to move up to the intake manifold. Wouldn't you know it, it's blocked by the thermostat housing. I got a new one that's a swivel. Haven't attached it yet, so I hope it'll work.
My buddy has a Sahara Jeep with a safari top. Anyone ever seen one of these tops on a landcruiser? I think it would interesting to fab one up with fiberglass. Probably source the windows from Smittybuilt and use the current top for a mold. I think it would add an inch or two of height, but really open up the interior. I love the inside of his jeep. Lots of head room and it doesn't feel cramped at all.

One step at a time.
Dark machinery gray.
Dark machinery gray.
I listed a pic of how it came out. Mainly a storage rack for a cooler and beach towels. Or back in PA for whatever I kill.

I bucked the ‘smoke grey’ trend also - went with that same color - Fine choice!
Same beach different summer - spotted blue last year and beige this year on the same lot
*I’m sure my girls wonder why, with all there is to do/see on a beach vacation, I feel drawn to an auto shop to take pictures of old trucks!

I painted my last garage green, needless to say my wife doesn't approve.

Been really busy with my 40, but I’m enjoying every second of it. This is what I’m currently working on, decided to fabricate a roof rack.
Try calling land cruiser specialties in Oregon. They used to make a top like that.Finished routing the fuel lines up to the Holley Sniper EFI.

I drove my 40 to the trailhead for an after work ride.
