Re: White smoke on start up, rough idle, losing water....

Water getting into a cylinder. gasket leak or cracked head unfortunately.
Repair or replace the head/gasket as required. Fit new water pump and thermostat, I would also get the radiator checked to make sure it isn't blocked.

Re: My 80 matey restore

Yay, Projects.
Looks like an undertaking and a half.
I like the idea of the Raptor coating, We are considering it as an option later on when we get sick of the west coast pinstripe look on our KZJ Prado.
Good work, keep it up.

undo the small screws from behind, the centre cover/horn should lift off allowing you to disconnect the horn wire. Then loosen the nut holding the steering wheel onto the steering shaft
