That's so awesome, gorgeous color too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Better than 50/50 chance that you complete two projects before I finish one! |

Wonderful vehicle,built like a panzer tank and went for ever,fond memories driving one of these in the late 90's,these were a popular government vehicle in their time in my country,used for all manner of uses ,we had an option called the Arcarna body option which was anything from a troop carrier multi seat rear body on a cab on only to a set up to long metal rear wellside.
Very popular in Australia as a people carrier for mining workers in the upper west coast and others area's. The one I used had a later motor I think 4.1 litre,drunk fuel @ an amazing rate and was a vehicle that you never had control of because it had some sort of early autopilot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) ,finally died towing a large commercial boat on a even larger trailer in a remote area cost a bunch of $$$ to get it to extracted to the nearest town. Don't know what happened to it after this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . |

Similar story here, drove an '80 FJ40 in the early '90s which was an absolute beast. Built 100 times better than a Jeep. Went into, through and out of stuff that would stop other vehicles cold. Had this auxiliary rear seat heater which was AWESOME for the -30 deg F mornings in central and western NY.
I can't think of a single time that it got stuck. @Cupomeat was with me on a maiden voyage through a farmers back field (I think it was Mr. Gregory's) where we fell through a sheet of ice into a muddy bog and just kept going. |

So true! @tomeric914 , Besides a bunch of minor issues like Radiator holes, that was a beast I never thought would be stuck... Great Project Arne! Love the color AND there is something to be said for cars that come all apart with bolts, etc... Looks like fun! |

10.5 months into it. I'm calling it essentially complete. Waiting on a last firewall grommet, and a bit of cleaning and touchup. Everything works as it should—lights, brakes, horns, gauges, wipers, all of it.
Going to be out of town for a few days next week, will do some more driving to make sure there are no new surprises, and then lay plans to sell it. |
