You must post pics on the FJ Cruiser forum, they will eat it up. Very nice work, wish I had the ability to do stuff like that.

ya it blew me away, in Peru they don't have the resources we have here in the states, all the work was doen by my cousin and his two friends.

Wow, that looks sweet! I love the older FJs and there are quite a few of them around here in the high desert. If I ever get "that cabin in the mountains" I'll really think hard about an original FJ to keep stashed there.

I've always loved the FJ40. The paint job and interior looks good, but you can still see all kinds of rust in the wheel wells and frame. I'll give him a C+ for effort.

Remember he is in Peru. Parts may be hard to come by. Also if he plans to use it why make it perfect
