TLC HJ61 total reconditioning

[oding]

Windshield installation was a challenge. Took me 5 tries before I finally got it right.

 

[oding]

My seats just got in from the upholstery shop. Nice huh?

 

[oding]

A nice coat of this product.

 

[oding]

Installed gas tank and so with the underneath spare tire carrier.

 

[oding]

Got the fuel tank done with the straps secured.

 

[oding]

The A/C evaporator and blower arrived from the US. It is a used one and hopefully everything turns well. The blower still works. I still have to do a leak test on the evaporator.














The blower motor needs a little cleaning and painting.

Good progress!!
I remember getting my fuel tank in, after the body was installed, and the stabilizer brackets were welded to the chassis...... that was a challenge, and made me end up repainting a lot of scratches

Keep it up Oding!

Took the evaporator housing apart for cleaning. It does have a few cracks.

 

[oding]

The fuel gauge sender unit is installed.

 

[oding]

I have patched the cracks on the housing of the A/C evaporator.

The blower motor before and after painting.

 

[oding]

The A/C blower is installed in its housing.

 

[oding]

The A/C evaporator housing is repaired of cracks and assembles for fitting.

 

[oding]

Tried to mount the A/C unit on the Willie and it fits perfectly. I got lucky.

 

[oding]

Got the rear seat installed.


















Dropped a wrench inside the fender wall while installing the snorkel. I could not see from the outside so I took a picture. Gotcha.

 

[oding]

Wiper motor and linkages have been installed. A little tricky but not that bad.

 

[oding]

I started work on installation of the winch.








I will be using an engine leveler so I can install the winch with ease.

 

[oding]

The roof rack is also ready for installation.

 

[oding]

I got the roof rack in position but deferred the lock until I am sure it is in the right position.

 

[oding]

And the final position ...
