Milla's Modified '78 FJ45.

[Theo Marx]

I'm thinking of building a small pipe frame for the fenders and covering it with Alu plate. 

Just search tube fenders on MUD and you will get a gazillion ideas Milla.

Haven't done to much to the 45 the past 2 weeks. But at least I've mounted the 75 Series dash, it looks not to bad . Was a mission to fit it. Will post pics sometime.

[Jonathan Tee]

Sometime? don't take too long, or i'll invite craig over to hurry you along 

[milton slabber]

Yeah man, I'll post when I'm finished with it.. No need for Craiq..

[milton slabber]

OK, here goes. I still need to smoothen the edges etc, but I think it looks good. Had to narrow the dash by 50mm to get the correct width.

RivNuts is a wonderfull thing I discovered today. Herby how I'll bolt the new dash to the 45's cab.




Something unique. Peter Steyn, purist , the following images is not suitable for sensitive eyes..

What are you going to call this truck once its finish a "FJ4579" OR WHAT?

[Jonathan Tee]

"FJ4579"

 

Looking good Milla

[Keith Richardson]

I think fitting the 75 dash is a cool idea

Just too much wek for me, besides now I am thinking Lexuslitus V8us in ELLEX

[milton slabber]

Trevor, I'm gonna call it plain and simple ''Dirty Harry''.
Oom Keith, yeah it was a lot of work, but I reckon it's a once of around here. You most definately have my vote for that Lexus 8 prop in Ellex!!

[milton slabber]

Pimp mah ride, hey.. Is that what you'll be using in your Bezel?

[Philipp Becker]

Hi Milla,

first time I  looked up your thread seriously (too busy with my own rust heap  ) !

Great job so far, hope I'm goin to see this beauty-monster sometimes soon 

[Shaun Cullen]

This is a marvelous thread - not for purists as you say, but fascinating anyway. Keep it up squire

Milla

You haven't by any chance got an FJ45 bonnet lying around somewhere 

    

[Graham Barnes]

Very Nice Milton. I like, I like....

[milton slabber]

Due to my Project 70 build and a rather big contract (revamping an old sawmill) I haven't been doing anything to the 45 in the last 2months or so and honestly, I pisses me off everytime I walk pass it and it just stands there. Once that mill starts up beginning of May, it'll be spanners and sparks flying and and serious elbow grease and sweat to finish it!!
