well, throwing parts at it, and getting there
of course, there's missing parts - good thing I paid a lot of money for amateurs to work on it.
not quite sure why they took the entire exhaust off
keep in mind that one of the big reasons to have someone else to the work was because it's me, myself and I who practice nothing but the safety third principles
ah well, it would be ironic to be taken out by a Jeep
and yet it's in
time to start refilling stuff. Underneath, it's about done - put the top together and it runs again... with that said, I've been cleaning up and will clean up more of the wiring
So here's why I'm so salty, when I picked up the not-finished-Jeep - the owner was going on and on about how terrible things looked outside of the engine compartment. At the time it confirmed my "just get it away because this is the happiest I'll ever be with them (low bar)" and yet they not only didn't come up with the video where they demonstrated the flywheel was bent (and I should have forced them to demonstrate what they 'found'). It was also my fault in being lazy and not wanting to try to remove the transmission on the floor (this is before the lift made it to my new rental shop). However, non-labelled parts, missing parts, taking things well beyond what they needed to be taken apart... I get small business, sometimes you take on stuff where you don't really know all the things you need to know - but listening to the owner go on and on about my stuff in some kind of salve for his soul just isn't something I'm going to abide with. With that said, this is a complete story. I've vented and done. I'm sure he does a lot of great things and some of the stuff in his shop show a great level of expertise and skill. So, despite that diatribe, I still wouldn't recommend avoiding them. For Land Cruiser stuff, he seems top notch.

fuel connected, cooling mostly connected
for reasons, the rearmost line is leaking.... I'll find out soon why that is.

shifter back in place.
never liked the heater hose connected to the motor because it kinked due to the tight bend.... but, BBC have a pre-molded hose....
now shortened.
just wiring left.... I'm doomed
