Fittings start. Weatherstrips installation in progress.
Not happy with the state of the Engine, so it is being partially dismantled to part by part restore the appearance. Similarly other items like cadmium coated stuff and nut & bolts, shall also be replaced one at a time.
Nearing Completion
Took the rig from workshop two days before Eid, still Power Steering and AC need to be bought and fixed. Same for tyres and rims. Yet drove it around 200 km with a little air lock issues due to diesel supply pipes, but enjoyed it despite the humid summer. Now the rig will be taken back to the workshop to finish off the remaining tasks.

Dear Mr. Umar Sikandry,I am also in process of restoration of my LC. Kindly PM your number please.
Umar if you come across any good bj70 then let me know. As you know I am in the search for the past month or so. The idea keeps on popping in my mind to get an fj again and make it a 4 door like phantom but not with swampers. But I am fighting my self not to, so help in looking for a bj70
Yaar hell of time is required in frame off restoration and a four door truck..... I believe in ur abilities. .. u can do it
Momi bhai I don’t want to get into it that’s why I want a bj70 and set it up quickly
It has been almost a year since I got it from Workshop. Restore was not a 100% success. It still needs work. It also needs an AC so I can use it during summer. Lots of works remaining, which will be done in Phase 2, hopefully soon. Body works issues are being observed at the moment, along with other mechanical issues. I have to do it right, even if it requires doing most of it all over again.
