The plan right now is to start on it Nov/Dec. The LS is here but I'm gonna need the summer to spread out collecting all the rest of the swap stuff without superheating my hotrod budget... I have a project of my own that I am quietly trying to get parts for too, but the wife's FJ comes first... Luckily my project is at the point where it needs my labor more than parts and hers is the opposite.

Not exactly Pro-Touring. More Pro-Toaster/Mystery Machine...



64 A100 with a 2014 Gen3 Hemi and Nag1 auto. Scotts did me a weld in IFS front with power rack and I did a triangulated 4 link out back with a Ford 9. Wilwoods all around with the MC/Booster in the dash. Ididt tilt with a Budnik wheel.

Current status, finishing up exhaust, next brake and fuel lines, then engine doghouse, then rear tubs, then wiring, then....then.... then blow it all apart and start bodywork...

Starting to get some of the interior pieces done...



Seats from an early Audi TT recovered in her choices...




Working on a raised platform for the drivers side floor.... once we raised the seats so she could easily see out, she was tippy-toe on the floor...
