A couple of things needed to be taken care of. One is the shifter on my 62 had gotten pretty sloppy. So had to replace the bushings. After getting it all back together I could not get it to shift into park correctly. Fyi dont turn that knob at the top of the shifter pole. That was the issue.
Two. My back window would not roll up. It would roll down but not up. That issue was the little rocker arms in the main switch on the drivers door had gotten corroded. After cleaning those up the issue was resolved. That one was very tedious work.
Last weekend I replaced my drum breaks. that is always fun.

Tollers?
Wow looks familiar. The SE has taken a beating this year.
The old girl got some new shoes.
All doors got a refresh too. New door seals, window channels and rear window gaskets and paint
Trying to wrap up the final bits and pieces before the VT Pilgrimage this week. If you don't know about it, check it out.

I saw this in a scene from The Old Man series last week.
Removed the old undercoating from my rear aluminum body plate, clear coated it to keep it from corroding and reinstalled it. Also, reinstalled driverside running board step.

Finally have her primed and ready for final sanding then on to paint. IDK about any of you but seam sealing is a bitch!!! Sealed the qtr panel /door seam with 3m product and it shrunk considerably! Tried again with another 3m type sealer using a small profile shape to hopefully match what was originally on it and anticipated shrinkage......this one didn't shrink at all!! Don't know if I should cut it down and try again or leave it!? You can see them in the pics
Wow it looks nice to me. My 72 still has the factory sealer in most places - they didn't do much for finish work but it was sealed.
Having a little extra is way better than not enough. You are the one that has to live with it, so I trust your judgement.

Bolted anther body part on for trial fitting
Looks good. If the two products are the same type of material makeup. I would just caulk over the old. If not, then I would test a small seam with the new stuff and make sure it adheres really good and then proceed.

Replaced the oil pan gasket, and then had a friend 3D print a door plug.

Took delivery this weekend. Family and I are super excited!
New Bilsteins and added back the leaf I removed out of each pack years ago on the OME 4” Safari lift in anticipation of putting the hardtop back on.
Got in a ride.

I can't believe how much better mine rides not on Bilstein shocks versus the junk Ranchos that were on it.
I love this little shot I got recently back of my wife checking out the epic surf and the salt wagon fj40. This shot was taken with a Nikon f5 + 35mm f2d lens and some kodak proimage 100 film.
I hope you print and frame that for your new house
I have been driving her almost daily for the past six months. Just put her in the garage on Sunday, removed the old carpet, seats, roll bar and fuel tank. Getting ready to tackle some rust and spray on Lizardskin followed by a bedliner. I redid the hardtop this summer with LP paint on the outside, Lizardskin on the inside, followed by a new headliner.
