Sir Rockalot the 5th

Post by metalonmetal »

i posted a wanted ad on craigslist about a month ago. shortly after my post i got a guy who was willing to part with this one.

i'm glad i could get my hands on a sr5 model, so i promptly named it sir rockalot the 5th.

a few things need to be done to it, did a quick inspection this morning while it was dry and bright out. snapped a few photos. cheers.

Nice - you might want to (also) remove the hatch inside cover to spray some antirust
stuff inside (if that is rust at the plate holes).

That FJ40 looks so clean I almost thought it was this one - you gotta look at all of the photos
- the man was obsessed. I think it finally went on eBay for USD46K.

there are a lot of rust spots to take care of, luckily they're all relatively undeveloped.

i've referred to that buildup many times, the guy's inspirational. 46k though? that's incredible. i paid a fraction of that for my cruiser.

clean?

she's got her imperfections, there's always something to fix on my fj40. before i drove this cruiser i drove a '93 tercel. it was my first car as i delivered pizzas. i sold the tercel when i bought the desert dog, and now that i want to do some major fixes and upgrades, i bought sir rockalot the 5th.
