Re: FJ40 gets a paint job
Looking good so far, just be wary of those el cheapo hi torque starters. Mine lasted as far as a little play in some mud puddles, filled up with mud an burnt itself out so I bought one of those big old chev starters 2nd hand for $50 an haven't had any trouble since

Re: panhard top mount ?
I can understand how bringing the mounting point up would make it drive a bit nicer but I also thought you would want to square up the axle to the chassis? ( assuming the axle is pulled to the right given how much lift youve got, that's why I suggested lengthening the panhard rod as apposed to modif...

Very jealous this already sounds like the kind of build I've been pondering/dreaming of doing for a few years now but haven't had time or money to start.
Scratch built chassis is definitely the way to go. What engine an trans are you planning for it?

Re: failed cert - after your opinions
Does the pedal always go to the floor or just after he's done the brake test an boiled the brake fluid in your calipers? Does the pedal feel ok when you've bled it an adjusted the shoes?

Can't help with a drawing but if your really stuck is it possible (I know it's not ideal) to partially disassemble the opposite side to see how it is supposed to all go together?

Re: BJ Gearbox into FJ
Are the two input shafts the same overall length? I never measured the two I had but if they were is there any reason you couldn't just get the right spline clutch plate an keep the fine spline input. That said in the bj an fj boxes I had there was a big difference in gear ratios

As far as painting the outside of the chassis goes, you'll be surprised how far a liter of por15 will go I put 3 coats in the inside of the tub on my fj40 an still had some left over to do the front chassis rails an that was a half liter tin, as saddam said it must be top coated tho
