Didn’t want to make a new thread just for this.

Anybody found a good rattle can paint match for the orange fans?

We got that gorgeous 71 FJ40 in for some work and today found a crack in the fan that should be welded up but ya, 50yr old original paint on it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Cheers
 
By the way, the axle parts on the FJ40 along with many other parts look amazing. We spent a lot of time today cleaning front axle and engine parts. I have never seen 50yr old birfields that look so good.

I will post pics tomorrow, the inside of the knuckles look brand new after cleaning, amazing! 🥰

Cheers

Meh, just a little leak, I took it out and drove to town today, I'll probably drive it to work a few days this week as well.
 
Some switch work today; cleaning and fixing. The reverse switch on the column was painted over and frozen stiff. A bit of Deoxit and time and I got it working great again. My interior light switch on the dash was snapped off where the threads start. I drilled and tapped it and lock-tited in a screw, then cut off the head. Dash is almost complete. Need to get better at before pics.

Beautiful FJ40 and 616 dune beige seems to be a perfect match!
