I never intended to have the FJ looking like this. I never intended to spend anything on it. Then I joined the FJ forum.......Clearly  something went wrong.......Just be aware that once you start it's hard to stop.....

Yes, we call it Moditus, and we hear that a lot Jeff.
The real trouble begins when you get a 2nd or, God forbid, a 3rd FJ.
The family members become very concerned.

Your bike is beautiful Jeff. Well done. Your eye for detail is superior. It's the little things, like, how you painted the Rentech frame brackets to match your silver frame. You caused them to disappear. I like that.
Yea, it's the cumulative effects of all the little details that make your bike.

Major Kudos laddie!

Oh, and btw, our FJ's are never truly finished.....you will see...for example: Throw your oem rubber brake hoses away.

3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.

The brake and clutch lines are getting done very shortly. I did the top ones but I'm going to redo them all.
As for a second FJ........... I got a "spares" complete minus the motor but I just got offered another complete 88.
I'm thinking about buying it and duplicating mine but with crystal pearl white paint. Gold / charcoal grey and black decals.

Well now, in all fairness, you did title your post "finally nearly finished"
My FJ has also been "nearly finished" for some time now....just a couple more mods to do.

Your second project sounds great Jeff.  :good:
