Update: Always wanted a spring green FJ40.
Didn't know I ALREADY HAD A BEAUTY RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE!
View attachment 1783911
Tried some citrus paint remover on the outside, and the dark green and a gray primer comes off like it's water soluble. The factory green looks _good_ underneath. Protected over time by cheap paint. Sorry to trouble ya all. Check back a few weeks on Stella's build thread for updates.
Pictures are out of order but you get the idea. Nobody believed me! I didn't believe me.
****************
Not much detail yet, just decided today to pull the trigger and sell my Green '68 built, '69 registered FJ40. PRICE DROP: $9,900. Pics are in one of my albums. I want to focus on my red '64 built FJ40. Certain recent auctions make me want to get it right, to preserve and restore a vehicle properly. Get busy and make this one look like @treerootCO 's '69 on bring a trailer.
If your a purist, you'll like this mostly stock vehicle. Come drive it, it's a blast.
A drum of citus paint remover and you might get to all original paint . I did on some of the inside.
