When we acquired the Landcruiser, we were not totally sure what we would find under all the paint and grime.
We knew it had the “standard” FJ60 issues: Quarter panel rust, Tailgate rust, rust in some of the door areas. So, the rest was an adventure!
We have spent this first week tearing down, inventorying, and assessing. The body is not in bad shape considering the age and that it is an FJ60. We took it all the way down to the bare body and left it on the frame temporarily. We will start mocking up some changes while we wait for blaster to get here and take it down to bare metal.
Our next steps will be to separate the body from the frame and take all of the brake and axle components off. Once we blast the frame, we can make any repairs to the frame and start installing our coil over mounts and conversion parts for the 80 series axles, brakes and lockers.
Stay tuned for Fabrication!
