Sweet looking FJ! Definitely following the rest of the build. I would keep the rust patina look.

Thank you. Yeah I’m kind of digging the old beat up look with the patina paint. Man it’s gonna be a long haul.

Man, that thing is sweet!!!!! For sure get all the mechanics sorted and leaved that patina. You could even clear coat it so it won't continue to rust. Amazing the parking brake still works. You got yourself a gem.

Thank you. Nigel would you recommend a light sand then a coat of clear? I Don’t know much on paint or body work. Your VW bus was sick dude.

@@trackcalledquest thanks! I'm going to visit my bus tomorrow. Haha. Sounds weird but yeah. For the paint I would do a super light wet sanding or even just some rubbing compound on it just to get the oxidized paint off and it would bring out a lot more of the patina. And then wipe it down with an acetone or something like that and clear coat it. For my bus I haven't done really anything but just keeping it clean. It's a lot harder here than it is in sunny and dry california. 😁

Yeah it’ll be great, what’s your vision for it? Just fix it up for local trails or more of trail vehicle you plan on towing out somewhere. Great nostalgic vehicle. A GM 5.3 would fit great in it!! Even a 4.8!! Be perfect!

@@TLC94LS yeah, I’ve been contemplating on which direction to go. If I do a semi restore it’ll be worth more keeping it somewhat stock with a 3” lift. If I go full bore it’ll be built for local trails or trailer it, but then it’ll loose its value. What are your thoughts?

It’s a tough decision for sure. I’d look at with a mild overhaul, how comfortable would it be to take on a weekend trip, how long would it take to get there etc. you could just make a local run about. Mostly on road. Don’t think I’d make a trailer queen, probably, make it just for around town at first. See what it grows into. Fun for Sunday coffee!
