With my birthday yesterday I had dropped a few hints about things needed for the jeep, so I now have a full set of deep dish mats for the front and back of the jeep to contain the mud and water. Also money to go and visit WTBS on Monday and buy a recovery strop, just what I have been after.

Had the Novus man come and visit on Thursday as a crack in the windscreen had failed the warrant, he took one look at the windscreen and recommended a brand new one, insurance will cover it. Great - I will be able to see the mud coming much clearer

Today:
1)cleaned and adjusted brakes, now they work worse than before.
2)decided to strat making my tube front bar, decided also that i really really really really ought to leave the welding to people that can actually weld..... also discovered that a grinder hides all sins
Tomorrow:
Will cock up some more welds, and grind the crap outa them so no-one knows.

Here are some photos http://community.webshots.com/album/561190976bfeETX
Progress has been slow this year, this was my grandfathers truck from new, and I bought it up north in January 2006. The cab and deck have been removed, just the motor and drive train needs to come out now before I can start repairing the rust in the chassis, painting it and starting on the actual restoration.

When the Novus man came to look at the jeep windscreen he saw the bonnet from the Ford and instantly recognised it for what it was, we spent more time talking about old Fords than the Jeep :lol:

Looks great for a 70 year old. I don't like Fords in general, but flathead engine is a classic and deserves respect.

You should start a new thread and keep us updated on yor progress. My dream is to do something similar, but with a 1941 Willy's...

Just got back from up north, after picking up the turbo motor for the Safari.
Just need to find time to swap the turbo over now :roll:

Big thanks to Mitch (GQTROL) for all his time/help, this certainly helped us out a lot.

Would love that. Something to do over the weekends (rather than watch TV).

Ha, had looked at that cruiser! Looks a nice machine! You can rip that spark arrestor off - being a turbo I'm pretty sure it doesn't need it.

Its a typical upgrade, hilux/surf to cruiser. I did the same thing and so have others.
Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.
