Break it on down...

Working indoors helps when January is upon us.  Here is our 1993 FZJ-80 loosing some of its skin:


Front got naked, too:



The undercoating put on by a previous owner definitely protected the fender underside, but made removing them a pain, as they were bonded to the inner fendor/engine bay panel.  Nothing a putty knife and rubber mallet couldn't gracefully solve.

Rear view:


Rear bumper is staying.  It's welded to the frame - and after thinking about it, I don't mind the bumper, I simply don't like the single large swing-out and the tire being on the rights side.  That can be changed by cutting off the existing nubs, and welding on a new left side half width swing-arm.  So the bumper and its attachments to the frame will stay, and it will go to Redline as it has been. I'll make those changes after its back.
