Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 - BJ40 - BJ42 - How Car Restoration Works

For those of us whose dream cars come from yesterday, we can't just walk into a car dealership and buy one. Buying a used car that's four decades old can present a whole lot of mechanical problems. Cars aren't built to last forever, but restoration can breathe new life into an older vehicle and make it look and run like new. Restoring that old clunker in your backyard; now's a great time to give it a shot. In this Blog, we'll talk about what it takes to transform a rusty wreck inside and out.

Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 - BJ40 - BJ42 front bumper

Repairing the front bumper. We did not get it exactly as factory original, there fore it was to much pitted with rust. We straightened the bumper and cut out the bad parts.We welded in 3mm stainless on the most rusted parts. It first got powder coated and later, as the finishing touch, primed and painted with a spray gun.
