The diesel is running strong... Everything looks to be in order.... A few final touches to do...like head lights, badging, windshield and wipers...... But for the most part it's complete.... Will be putting a bestop soft top on it..... Can't wait for next summer.... :D
Had the body finally painted in a nice blue colour..... Also had the rims powder coated in a nice semi gloss black....added some BF goodrich 31 inch tires ....The running boards will be the same colour.... I can see the finish line...starting to get exciting !!!!
This was the father inlaws first restoration.... I believe it was a 1984 BJ 40 !!! I loved the look of this cruiser....he had made custom half doors... He sold it about 2 years ago...and built his new one...the red one I posted earlier... I think he prefers building them than driving...
Here's a few pics of the frame for my 81 BJ 40 !!!! Frame was sanblasted and primed...then painted.... going with a 4 speed transmission that came with the diesel engine...
Here's a few pics from my father inlaws 1983 BJ40..... He restored it himself....frame off restoration about 3 years ago.... He's currently building me a 1981 BJ 40...should be ready in late September.....
Went with a nice metallic blue paint for my BJ 40 1981....... The wheels will be black....bumpers black...running board black....and a black denin bestop... Can't wait to have it completed in the next few months...
