I'm pretty sure the Asian guy you see in the previous pic and I, actually spoke to you. He had brought his Galant VR4 there!  This was 2018.

Small world indeed! I would have to ask for a face pic of yours -  wihtout being TOO creepy . Then again I have been reading about your muscular GF all over the GRM forums 

Excited for you and the updates of the "built thread." I've always wanted a FJ60 but never been able to pull the trigger. Off I go to look for one in the classifieds...

Thank you kindly. I am VERY excited, as I have wanted one for a long time. However, I am VERY nervous, as I have NEVER tackled the body work aspect of it...... 

Truck driver just called. He will be here between 2-3pm. Can't wait!!!

I feel like a kid on Christmas!

Lmao she's strong but not very feisty so you'll be okay 

I'll see if I have a pic from that day. I had a guy name Sergio with me too. I think he had one of the LC's that was near or maybe the NSX. I can't remember

I know lot of the local NSX owners, since I have been on NSX Prime for about 17 years.... hehe 

Small world.

Next time you are out west, look me up. I have a fleet of period correct mint JDM stuff you will appreciate. 

Well trucker dropped it off. Triumph/Vette/Pro 4Runner on the truck. 

Took it for a 40 mile drive. Drives great. Isn't as solid and tight as the wife's suspension wise. But has K02 instead of the silly highway costco tires wife's FJ60 has. 

Mine needs a lot of work (body wise). But VERY happy with it. 

Only two pics in all that excitement

Yes!!  The football has arrived!

you definitely can tackle the body work. Definitely

You have more faith in me, than my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Froeberg!!!

I was trying to figure out what was in front of it on the truck when you texted me. Now it makes sense. 

Enjoy it!

Well costs sounds like I bought a bunch of treasure.

Of course wife chimed in - "my 60 doesn't need any of those"

P.S. I owe you the email - week getting away from me. Will have the order details soon, my friend. Got the stamp done local ($17)

Maybe you should change the thread title to "Almost Dream FJ" after your wife got her time capsule

Well had an expensive lunch yesterday. We took both the 60s out. 

Wife commented, that hers need k02 tires like mine. She doesn't like the tires. So ordered new tires for her. 


My sand one - shocks are done. I need new shocks. Wife's blue rides like a dream. So shocks ordered for mine

• Installed new shocks .
