No fun here. I only had a couple hours to spend on it, and I got it this far with a heat gun, a paint scraper and a little bit of flap disc on the grinder.

More pics at the end of my 'after' thread.

Nothing fun about paint removal.

'91 4runner,
That is a good looking Cruiser. I'm not a fan of those wheels on a 4Runner or 80, but they look good on your 40.
What size are the lights on your windshield hinges? I like the size. Any info on the brand/power? Do you get a lot of reflection off the hood or fenders? Thanks
 
I didn't do any thing.
 
Picked this up and took it directly to Poor Wally's Land Cruiser Emporium for a new tub

Wish he lived closer to me.

I love his choice of business name and there's plenty of rusty cruisers here for him to work his magic on.

:beer:
 
He does great work and for a reasonable price. You get a tub installed for the cost (or less) of a replacement tub.
 
what's wrong with the engine :confused:

The original 2F in her now has pretty low compression numbers and a lot of piston blow by. I'm putting together another 2F long block with a higher compression ratio, RV grind cam, and balance job. All this and a swap to a Trollhole carb should have her running pretty sweet! :steer:

I spent about an hour at the hardware store finding misc screws and bolts. Zinger's in Austin seems to have decent selection of JIS screws. There not exact matches, but close enough for now.
