Me too Rob. No show car body wise but a good runner with tan premier interior.

Had an EH Premier with white body and metallic gold roof and an amazing leather tan interior. Real leather not this modern muck. You can see I have way too much time on my hands🙄

I believe leather was available in FX FJ as well as EJ and EH Premier. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks Patrick. I thought it wasn’t too bad. Still took me nearly three years and there is still the driveline and suspension to do yet. At least the brakes and steering are done, although the play in the worm gear at centre has me thinking about an overhaul to the steering box.

Definitely available in EH Prems. Dad just had a set of original buckets recovered in red moo-skin. They look beautiful.

All in all days werk. Speedo spat it on way home. Funny noise from under dash.

Expensive morning. Time to learn about FB rear axles.Image
