Nice looking parts after zinc. Which company did you use?
Keep up the good work.

-M

The company name is Reikko... we use that for the machines that we build so when we have free space I put some of my stuff there

I thought about zincing those header heat shields also. But it felt like there is something inside them between the plates so I painted them. Those turned out nice I assume? They looks like brand new now... it's true that feels rare those header heat cover inside but I took the risk, maybe is just ...

And the expensive part of the project already start. Ordering parts to have everything when the axles and chassis are ready.
Also I send few parts to zinc... they look like new now

You are getting closer.... love those oem toyota stickers on the new parts

Today no work, just buy the wheels for the engine lifter :mrgreen: and go for a short visit to see my summer car :D I'm a completely fan of Toyota, and mostly Land cruiser , but I have a weakness with the MK1 Golf since I was a kid. This is a Mk1 '87 Cabriolet in mint conditions with only 87.000km :...

Finally I made it, it's a nightmare when you are alone, but I made it. Lift the engine with transmisión and transfer case wasn't a problem, try to move it was the issue, one of the wheels on the lifter broke, so I decided to put on the floor, take the transmisión and transfer out, put the wheels of ...

It takes a lot of time, more than I expected, to get the chassis to stand on tires again. You have made a good progress. If you have a place near by where they do hot dip galvanizing it could be a good idea to dip the frame when done. It would last forever after that. Specially if you make a daily ...

Finally I take the body out from Doris :mrgreen: , I was without inspiration and no extra hands or a place where to put the body, now the stars are in line so I can proceed with the stripping Next step, remove the engine, axles and fix the frame, sand blast everything, and all new, I hope that in su...

Its really incredibly the level of detail on this project...
I hope that I can get the opportunity to see this LC in real life.
Congratulations...

Moving slowly, but moving at least, last weekend finally get out the dashboard, heating system and few other parts, just need to continue with hand brake and fuel tank lines and I guess it's ready to remove the body

A few ones but nothing serious except the FJ40 '81 ... you can found me with CristianRamirez nick name

Not so bad looking to start with. Compared to mine, that is nearly mint :D like that brown interior. The fabric has nice shades abd colors on it. Feel free to ask if you need some info or other help with restoring that HJ. Thanks for the offer and I will take it :mrgreen: , I start to following you...

Start to stripping the 60, looks pretty good, only fee spots with rust, but nothing serious at this point. Let's see when the body is out

I'm a Land cruiser fan, this was my last Cruiser project that sadly I have to sell...

Hi, here again with a new toy project. The idea is a full restauration with a small touch for overland. It's an 60 serie with a 2H engine , runs really nice but rust is starting to do his thing, the car comes from Lapland so not so bad, it has rust but everything fixable. First step is probably remo...
