just when i was getting sick to death of rat rods with painted steelies.
Your FJ looks awesome, under the bonnet will look even better with a norman bolted to the grey!

loving that engine bay, old GMH sticker and the old school spark leads make it seem like it's a photo from the 50's or 60's!

spent a bit of time at the shed tonight

tryed a few different ways to keep it low but its not going to happen
so plan is now throw all the work i have done out the window and start over

looking at making a new manifold and mounting it on the intake side of the engine again trying to keep it as low is i can
still not sure on carbys yet a throttle body and injectors could keep it a lot lower

will post more pics as progress happens
cheers dave
