I’ve got to say Terry that is one hell of a brilliant job you’ve done there. Your logic is spot on and the whole thing will end up looking stock standard. Great work mate!
Thanks David, that is very kind of you to say mate. I'm certainly enjoying the process, it's just taking me a lot longer than I originally anticipated. Have a great weekend David!!
I love your attention to detail with this build, right down to the cut and shut of the little panels that will essentially serve no purpose but they just look spot on. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Shane, I appreciate the kind words mate. I tried to just weld the front headboard back on without the little panel cut and shut but my OCD took over and I just couldn’t do it. I’m sure I’ll be glad in the end but those little suckers almost took as long to do as the whole tub😂. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Magnificent job Terry. Its interesting to see the impact driver come out and its brand new. Imagine what the poor bugger taht goes to take it out in 50 years will say.
Thanks Daniel, that is very kind of you to say mate. I know, I could not believe how tight those brand new screws were. Must have been a sumo wrestler that put them in. Cheers😎👍
I have just finished watching the FJ45 build series thus far, it's great to see the fabrication and problem solving in such a project. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming instalments.
Thanks for the kind word mate. I put a lot of time into the filming and editing and it pleases me greatly that you have noticed and actually commented about it. You made my day, cheers😎👍
Thanks Berny. There will actually be 3 parts. They will be coming out over the next few weeks. I release content every Friday, either check back in then or just subscribe and turn on your notifications. Cheers
Unbelievably useful & timely video - I am just about 50% through this exact same job. Same tub on an '84 HJ47. Not a straightforward proposition in Ireland let me tell you.😶
Yep! sometimes we learn the hard way (I've done that a lot!). Me personally for bodywork, I use a quality 2 pack sealer (PPG), then a compatible filler & then the 2 pack primer surfacer (PPG). The sealer should always be left in tact when sanding the filler, isolating the steal as the filler in time will sweat & then rust on the steel even though it is sealed under paint (I'm talking over years, but don't ask me how I know) Unfortunately the paints I use, the sealer must be coated within 24 hours or it needs to be reapplied for adhesion reasons (be it for filler or primer). If you break through the sealer to steel when sanding, then it has to be reapplied. At least the sealer, filler & primer are all different colours. Thinking I'm liking the build idea, I will go back to the start to catch up. I Built an FJ40 with a 308 some 25 years ago when I lived in S.E. Qld, I loved that truck! Thanks for another entertaining video!!
Thanks for the kind words and the advice Rod, I sincerely appreciate it. Sounds like your 308 powered 40 would have been awesome. I trust you will find some entertainment value in this build, if not there are plenty of better builders than me out there creating content. Go well mate.
@@JafffaAdventures it's not necessarily the better builders being out there, we all face that but the important thing is we all have a go! & Of course, like you... Have fun along the way! 👍 I'm lucky with a few skills, but like I mentioned, I've also made plenty of Blues over the years too! 😵💫 Yes, while I used to own & run a Resto/Hot Rod Shop there are many other skills I wish I had. Ya never stop learning. I just wish I could afford to retire, I'd be busier than ever! Keep up the great content mate, it's great stuff! 👍 (Plus I miss Qld. 😉)
Thanks for the encouragement Rod, I appreciate it. As you said, for me it’s all about having a go. I often get it wrong, but learning is one cool thing out of it all😎👍
Always look forward to seeing fj clips
Thanks mate, it’s a blast to work on that’s for sure. Cheers😎👍

Thanks for the kind word mate. I put a lot of time into the filming and editing and it pleases me greatly that you have noticed and actually commented about it. You made my day, cheers😎👍
Despite quite a lot of work to drill out all the spot welds, the front of the tub came off pretty easy. Well done mate.
I agree Frank, it came off a lot easier than I thought it would. Thanks for the encouragement mate, cheers!
Awesome job. I'm liking this project.
Cheers mate, thanks for sharing 😎👍
Well mate if that intro didn’t grab your attention you must be about to flatline 😉
Love the progress 👍
That’s too funny mate, thanks for the support 😎👍

Ahhhhh....a cliff hanger ....where is the rest of the video ? 😃😃😃😃 Nice work...
Thanks mate😂😂. Stay tuned, or not😉😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures I am on the edge of my chair brother...can t wait 🤣
Part 2 released on Friday, but I’ll give you the inside scoop, it’s another cliff hanger😂👍
Unbelievably useful & timely video - I am just about 50% through this exact same job. Same tub on an '84 HJ47. Not a straightforward proposition in Ireland let me tell you.😶
That is amazing timing Nick. Maybe you could overtake me and then tell me how to do it😉. Cheers 👍😎
I learnt that about bondo after my first trip away to North straddie after touching up my bullbar
Good stuff, we all have to learn, sometimes the hard way. Cheers😎👍
It's getting to point where one could ask "So how much is a new 79?".
Don't worry Tez. We know you're doing it for love. :-)
You got it in one, my cars are an expression of me😎👍

Really should etch primer before bog. Bog is porous and absorbs moisture and holds it against bare steel causing rust.
Cool, thanks 😎👍
Could you please advise what you coated your chassis with?
It’s a 2 pac chassis black. There is a whole video in the library on the subject. Cheers😎👍
sorry can't spell ( real )
Too funny mate😂👍
