ROADWORTHY FJ40

[kvanoort]

Here's my latest Joyride Pictures ROADWORTHY project video – some Assembly Required. Our goal of the project is to just get the vehicle back on the road, or off-road, with this classic FJ40. Real life doesn't always allow for the perfect auto restoration and this one has been languishing in the garage for almost five years. So, we thought it was time to have some fun getting this budget conscious daily driver back on the trails. Originally this father and daughter 1970 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser project started out by purchasing two parts vehicles with the intention of creating one legendary off-road machine. But, life happens and other priorities push the project to the basement garage until Joyride Pictures offered to lend a hand and document the rebuild. In this episode we put together a list of what needed to be completed and got busy sandblasting, paint stripping and sanding the body in preparation for paint before outside temperatures began to drop. An added bonus of working on the project at Pete's house were Pete's Treats! Thanks Pete! We still have a lot of work to complete, treats to eat and sauna sessions to enjoy before we're cruising around on Colorado mountain trails so please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW along.

In this episode of ROADWORTHY FJ40, Olivia is home from college on Fall Break and joins us to paint all the pieces of her Land Cruiser project. With winter closing in on us, we lucked out and were able to prime and paint everything during the last few days of nice weather. Pete's Treats kept our energy and blood sugar levels redlined while working on the project so a celebratory Bundt Cake was a nice surprise when we finished painting. The fun continues as we begin reassembly of the FJ40 with lots of new parts, more treats to eat and sauna sessions to enjoy. There's still plenty of work to do before we're taking the Cruiser for a Joyride so please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW along.
