What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (33 Viewers)

[ToyotaMatt]

One year after loosing the F to a lock up (and all motivation to finish), I cleaned up a 2F and 4speed, adapted the 3 spd case to the back, Installed the drive train, rerouted some wiring in the engine compartment, Got it running again, and... stalling. I'm suspect of the fuel pump so that's this weeks beginner. Here's a shot of all the hard work from the past 7 days.

Here is a good thread mapping out the different approaches to cleaning, polishing, paining the transfer case and transmission.

Funny enough - I posted in that thread!

Great new rear step installed from Paul @hyhpe. Needed some cleaning...but worth the effort.

Looks good. I think its the 1st time I've seen something I sold in production.

Finally finished the cowl windshield seam sealer and painted to match. I didn’t turn out as well as I hoped but I think I’ll be water right now. And ordered 5 steelies from City Racer as an early birthday present to myself.

Changed points, cap rotor and condenser! Followed that up with timing and dwell.

Ran great to the local watering hole for a cold distancing beer!

It's fall in the Rockies, so I took the white cruiser around the property and took some poser shots today.

That’s some mighty fine company your 40 is in!! A very nice example of a 65’ big block Vette in my favorite color!!

I washed it in preparation for Saturday’s car show.

Did some rust/bondo removal on the top this week.
I've been using a Harbour Freight Titanium Flux 125 welder. It's an inverter welder and it works pretty good on thicker metals. Since it is flux core, it burns a bit too hot for sheet metal. It's working, but I wouldn't do this again without gas. Notice the porosity. This was caused by fighting the slag buildup while trying to fill where it burnt through.
Now just need to figure out how to fix the impact on the side. Not sure how to proceed without making a complete mess of things. Any suggestions welcome.
