FJ40 I call Shipwreck

Whats with all the talk of Pediatric Podiatrist and Pedophiles?

[SuperBuickGuy]

I'm liking how that body-flipper is shaping up. Keep us posted on its major details?

we'll get right back on it after we discuss with Joe about his love of vans. feet and furries.

...his love of vans. feet and furries.

Oh boy, now we round the corner to the really weird part of the internet.

I was just wondering about the size in case Arron has to roll the tub outside for other work in the shop...

[SuperBuickGuy]

no one has ever complained about my size before.... just sayin'

[silver_bullet]

ain't touching that one...

back to the rotisserie


went to my 'local' wrecking yard today and got two things that wouldn't work
first was this


the google rumor was there was interchange on the ac pump pulley... there wasn't, but there is an option - buy one from a big-rig so it's on order

the other bit was a cable I didn't have .... and don't need.... dang it - but now I realize I need to buy a different distributor... ugh







simple, yet not elegant at all

[SuperBuickGuy]

hole filling

if you look carefully, you'll see I got hole-fill-happy and filled two too many holes (brake booster).... ah well I still need to deal with the divot so I'll solve that issue as the same time


more colander holes

[DanStokes]

Silly SBG! Sounds like something I'd do.

I like your rotisserie. Is it just spinning on the blocks of wood? Do you have some way to lock it on position?

[SuperBuickGuy]

at this moment, it's two motorcycle straps that hold it in position
yes, spins on wood - I figured it'd be easier to adjust the height eventually it will have some kind of raise/lower device.... just not yet

[Russell]

Cool, it is hard to tell from the pictures what the straps are tied to. It looks like it goes from the top side to the frame. If that is the case I would suggest you tie the low side to the frame.

[SuperBuickGuy]

woohoo, body work


yep, doing the seams inside as well, but more as camo since the interior is getting bedlined


as is the firewall


onto the metal work on the tub

[SuperBuickGuy]

While getting a cushy job like Brian and simply writing for a living sounds like a great way to live - there's one issue that I'll never get over. I have deadlines at work, updating my thread each day? no need, there are no expectations. So while having a dump truck...errr... tow truck (does he still have that?)... or a white breadbox would be cool; I'll take the leisure lifestyle of blog updates when I'm good and ready to do so.... eat your heart out Brian ;)

Plus, it's not like you guys want to see this - there are so many other more enjoyable threads out there then me throwing parts at some damn import.

Anyway, now we're to the stage of the project where it really doesn't look like much is happening because all that's really happening is bodywork (which may explain my mood).

last light installed


got parts today


they even work - hallelujah



mud

lots of mud


oh well, it'll be purdy when it's done...
