Video Update
The body work on the doors starts. Each door will require some type of skim coating of bondo. Land Cruiser doors tend to warp inward and this filler takes up that slight difference. Watch as we shoot these doors in House of Kolor soon...

Video Update
We commence work on the front doors. We had to look high and low to find a decent set of front doors. Welding the bottoms is typical for most all restoration projects. Watch as we weld.

VIDEO UPDATES!
VIDEO UPDATES! This restoration is back on the front burner. We have new "old" video of this restoration. However, the work does continue on this project. The front doors are being worked on. Look for video updates of that soon. For now, enjoy some old footage of the paiting of this FJ40. 2006- This Land Cruiser was provided by Cruiser Solutions to our most current restoration customer from Pennsylvania. This 1980 FJ40 will sport the following products during it's restoration; Aluminum Body Tub, New TOYOTA Front Fenders and Hood, Saginaw Power Steering Conversion, Full PPG or House of Kolor Paint finish, a Dakar Suspension Kit, and much more! Over the next few months this Land Cruiser will be transformed into a classic FJ40.
Another vehicle.
