Nothing, Nada... Sent my 74 to a friends shop 5 weeks ago for wiring... Still there... Tired of waiting. They do good work for a good price but slower than cold mollases

Replaced intake hose. Oil change. New air filter, fuel filter, wireset, cap and rotor. Tore out old rear carpet. Removed stereo and old random wiring. Fixed cigarette lighter.
Tomorrow I might replace the clutch master cylinder. Gotta pump it so much I feel like I'm priming a ******* Coleman stove.

Changed oil and filter, new PCV valve, put on my "new" horn pad on sterring wheel, (thanks Andy), took drivers side door pannel off, installed lower window runner that I never knew was supposed to be there until I helped a friend replace door latch assembly on his cruiser. We both robbed parts off of an old door he had. Enjoyed a 70 deg. day in the sunshine!
Its the fuel weekend for me.
Started taking off the old fuel system on the 383sbc to clean up the engine. Will start installing the FAST EZ EFI kit on wed when I am off.
Removed the old 1406 on the K20 and swapped in new one, gotta do timing now.

No heater. It's been way too cold to drive her with no heat, and no top.....So, I pulled her out and let her idle for a bit. Man I am ready for it to warm up.
Heater and winter gear (i.e. hard top, doors, and ambulance doors) are my projects for this summer.

Age is a state of mind.
Added a semi-custom full cage, had the rear swing-out re-built to flip the pivot to the driver's side along with the tire and added a jerry can basket along with setting the hitch receiver in the bumper. Also had a basket made to fit the hitch to carry ice chests or whatever. Also fixed and re-painted the tail gate.

Finally got around to finish something that has been going on for more than a month now! My new upgrades are: a webasto parking heater and a york 206. The car is now warm when I feel like driving it and the foghorn regained its usefullness!

You need some more power to with all the weight your adding.
Any suggestions, or should I just make space for a dual 2f setup??

Today was the first time in over a month that I worked on the Cruiser. Got the parking brake shoes and cable installed and working. Then I stared at my wiring for an hour while drinking beer and decided nope, still not up to it.....

Just took off the body of my 74 Fj. I have a frame that I am rebuilding from the frame up and now fixing to sandblast it next weekend. Then I will be bringing it back into the garage and applying POR15 on the clean metal. Next step will be applying a bed liner on the frame. I am fixing to make a new fiberglass top for my FJ too.
Finally rebuilding some front doors.
And I figured this out which I thought was pretty bad ass as ideas go.
