Looking good 

[Shaun Cullen]

Spent an hour plus one big tin of Kiwi black shoe polish tidying the wheels up.





Same size as the 265/75/R16'sn the 80

[Jonathan Tee]

Eish Shaun can I get those back now 

[Theo Marx]

Do you charge per hr or per wheel ? 

[Keith Richardson]

WTF would you possibly WANT to polish the tyres    eish dont understand this one 

Must be a banana n curry province thing    

[Jonathan Tee]

Its not called a "Lipstick & Dipstick" resto for nothing Keith, maybe needs expanding to "Lipstick, Dipstick & Shoe Polish"

[Shaun Cullen]

WTF would you possibly WANT to polish the tyres  Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?  eish dont understand this one  Lips Sealed Lips Sealed Lips Sealed Lips Sealed

Ja Boet, coming from someone who desecrated a BJ I'm not surprised you don't understand. A vehicle isn't clean until the tyres are clean and that oily, shiny stuff is k@k

[Keith Richardson]

The BJ only got desecrated BECAUSE it was a BJ - I wouldn't think of doing the same to a FJ 

[Shaun Cullen]

New springs and steering damper fitted




Extensive rewiring including alternator rebuild









Roll bar powder coated








80 Series radio and VHF radio fitted




New door handle inserts and new seatbelts fitted




…and wheel resto finished.

[Jonathan Tee]

Very   

I am sure that is not the radio you nagged me so much for...

[Shaun Cullen]

You're correct JT. Until I find the connector plug, 'your' radio stays in the cupboard. Bloody good sound out of that 80Toy radio though.

[Adolf Hüster]

Vehicle looks so  , no need to do a Resto.     Can't see any Rust no more! 

[Keith Richardson]

I second what Adolf says - wait until after "Legends Trip" then tear it down and restore it properly once and for all.

[Shaun Cullen]

One of the most satisfying jobs yet!

After:


And some more lipstick - new OEM rearview mirror including 'piepie' rubber support against windscreen.
