... after replacing the starter and the spark plugs (all fouled), repairing one plug wire, and installing the oil filler cap.
It was a hairy drive for the 3 miles from the shop to my house. Wandering, 40mph max, rattling, banging, shifty brakes, steering was marginal, but it ran and drove and got me from a to b. What a great little Landcruiser!
I've got it parked in my driveway next to the Mercedes, and I'm gonna sort out some more repairs and upgrades (like disc brakes) and get it registered. ;)
Next up, cleaning it out, pulling out the seats and anything else that bolts down on the inside - to get it ready for roll-on truck bed-liner and some sort of weather-stripping on every panel, seam, door, and window. Also, before it starts raining I have to remove and reinstall the moon-roof with a silicone strip so the water stays out. After that, I am going to start reattaching all the little bits and pieces that rattled off on the way down the hill and then I'll be able to figure out which extra bits I'm going to eBay. This little bugger might pay for itself...
