This is just a Pic, the Album of Pics is next Door ~~> ENJOY!
This was my first full on Custom which I started when I was 16 and finished when I was 18, all work was carried out by myself, this was actually my 4th Car with the previous being a Morris Minor 850 4Dr Sedan, a Morris Minor 100 4Dr Sedan and a Morris Minor 850 2Dr which I chopped 4inches, all in my mind were like mini-FJ Holden's and when an Apple Green FJ presented itself the offer was too hard to say no too so the lil Morrie made way for the FJ Sedan, had I had know just how rusty these old Bugga's can be I would have stayed with the Morris! :{D
All work was carried out under the guidence of a Master Panel Beater/ Spray Painter who held tickets in both fields, I first rebuilt it as a standard FX then went to town on the Bodywork after a chance meeting with Daryl Neilson(?) who owned the most awesome old Blue metallic FJ Custom, being 16/17 at the time I was impressionable and set out to build a wilder Custom, dumb in one sense but on the other hand, this was my learning curve in the world...
