Super creative metal working…love this series on the FJ45

What a champ!

I always look forward to watching your vids, keep it up mate🤟

Such an amazing build I love seeing one of your new videos pop up on my phone can’t wait to see it finished

Great content Dude watched this old girl come together from the start keep the clips coming your skills and content are helping the younger guys look at what they can do with the gear your using, I hope you can pickup more subscribes to finance this more and another project later on as you deserve it.. You've inspired me to buy and older vehicle soon to have ago at my own project.. thumbs up

Great stuff

Mate Having done a similar total strip to the last nut an bolt and rust remediation some 25 years ago on a neglected FJ 45 I can fully appreciate the effort and magnitude of this rebuild. Great job undertaken and patience in restoring a classic 4WD.

Good job👍🏻

Great work again Richard. Bodywork is a pain, but once you get the paint on it will all be worth it.

Great job Richard, wow an all steel roof, boy o boy are they hard to come by now, guard it with your life mate. At least doing the entire cab floor you can now build a PROPER custom bolt in trans tunnel cover to suit, make it removable as well !! That's such a good job on the bead rolling, don't underestimate yourself Buddy, back yourself. 15mins looking at this angle it gives you great perspective for the center console fridge setup too. Making space for self trans removal is a brilliant idea. Actually with the back part of trans cover you could incorporate the console fridge mount Great, well thought out job Richard. I'm glad you kept the kick panel side vents they are so handy at times. Excellent vid mate, what about those do it yourself bed liner kits, are they more affordable. Seeya Rob

Impressive work, as good as any I have seen on you tube. You are getting a deft hand with the mig too.

Good stuff Richard !

Great work man!

Where you blanked the vent on the cowl you should bead roll the vent design so it kinda looks factory still

Felicitaciones, me inspiraste para hacer lo mismo con las partes oxidadas. saludos.

Good Job. Well done !

Yer I agree with the others about painting it yourself, I painted my cab with rattle cans and it came out great, as long as you prep well sand well it'll come up good, just don't go gloss, I went a satin finish

Another great video 👍

blown away again with another cracking ep mate OOTG great work

Getting there!

Good work young fella 👍

it's going to be awesome mate. something to be proud of

Nice man, this series has inspired me to rebuild a cruiser Now to find a decent car to start

Awesome video mate. I am just about to start this process and appreciate the insight. Now to look at how much plasma cutters cost haha

Spray booth!!! Has to be someone out there to help. I Won't agree with another comment on this video. The work you have put in to this beast, has to be done in a booth 🙌 please 🙏 haha

Amazing work, honestly have a go at painting in the driveway or garage, unless it’s a good paint booth and your prep is perfect it won’t make that much difference. Have you even considered raptor liner or similar for the cab, seems to hide many imperfections and should take the bush rash better

Next time have a go at using the Tig to repair your sheet metal. I have no doubt with your skill you’ll figure it out mate plus you end up with so much nicer of a repair. Killing it though mate, I’ve been lovin the build vids

G'day great work mate

Loved the video man, that primer isn’t usually paintable, it just rubs off with prepsol or thinners, before you paint or start the body work take all that primer off

Another great video mate!👍 are you going to sell the shirt as merch, or possibly the stencil cad drawings? Would be handy for a lot of weekend warriors

does this land cruiser have weatherstrip in the cabin ?? I would like to see the process to add the weatherstrip. this is a cool process, keep with the hard work, it is awesome.

Nice job if everyone could do as good as you panel beaters would be out of work ...

40 series body, 80 series chassi. Does that make it a 60?

Floors turned out good, are you going to weld up all the pin holes in the welds?

With painting the chassis, couldn't you do it at home in the shed? Spray can job? Or buy/borrow a compressor off someone? As the chassis will not be seen much and it'll always be covered in dirt and road grime

What thickness of steel did you use.bud

Paint it yourself mate. You have tried to do everything else and succeeded. And you don't need a paint booth. Builders plastic and make your own. The overspray will stick to the plastic. Nice hot day. Spray it about 3-4 pm in the arvo....After the car has sat in there all day

May I have your business contact please, I would like to provide you some auto products for review？
