Great job mate!
May I ask why you didn't use a paint brush?
The use of a syringe and needle is very accurate and clean. In my opinion, the best way to do this type of painting.

Decided to tackle the rust on the driver's side door. I'll need to punch some drain holes in them later. While waiting for bondo to cure and paint to dry I cleaned up the limiters and discovered the "sawn in half" limiter pin. Adding that to the list.

@MatthewMcD .. nice job on that door…I found the same pin in my FJ40. The replacement fit so well it didn’t seem that is was really the correct size. I’d even changed the arched door check retainer ..it was a bit out of shape as well

Mine is definitely bent. Where did you get the replacement parts? I saw the $OR kit, but haven't seen other options.

Same Place…was pricey too and I also had to buy the complete assembly for the passenger door or it would swing wide open and bang into the front right fender…that I found on Cruiser Corps “used”

Almost forgot, I replaced the remote oil filter lines with a Red Line 1F Oil Line kit. I gotta say, the folks at Red Line are awesome. My engine is a bit of a mish mash of parts but they helped me figure out what I needed. Oh, and a new steering coupling. I'll need to do the tie rod ends soon, but the steering is better already.

you are apparently missing the dash light that illuminates from the underside of the dash pad “lip”

My dashpad doesn't have a "cut" for this light. It has two wires coming out to connect it. I have tested them.
I thinking of fabricating some "external" light there.

I cut my dash pad with an exacto knife to insert the light. It cut easier than I expected.

@SergP I would like to see what solution you come up with for interior illumination. Ours is a 1970 with no provision for dash lighting other than the instrument cluster. Driving these things at night is interesting. I've learned that it is best to set whatever you want set before beginning the dark journey with a small pinlight flashlight in my teeth for any needed midtrip adjustments.

Picked up a 2019 LC200 with OME BP51 suspension. Ordered an ARB Base 41 Roof Rack, Icon Vector 5 in Bronze and Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/75/17. Next is front and rear ARB bumpers. Front Runner roof rack will be up for sale.

Nice Vehicle. It might better to post it in the 200 section
