Looks great, did you have any problems getting this paint colour tinted?
I will need this colour eventually and was interested in brand, codes any other relevent details.
Whats the plans for the FJ? Original Grey or updated red/blue etc?

The paint is available fairly easily... it is PURR PULL.

As for the motor, it is already in, and is a VK injected.

Hoping to get it ready for the All Holden Day, but not holding my breath...lets face it, perfection takes time, and this has been an 8 year project so far.

Thanks to Nick and Mother nature today, i am a little closer to driving the beast!

I'm reminded yet again why I love that colour

Looks awesome mate

Keep up the good work. 8 years of work will all be worth it when it sees the road again.

It's a massive weight of your shoulders when there's colour on your project car. I was driving my mates made when i stripped mine down to bare metal and it was out side getting rid of the sand. it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain...

I stress less that the car is painted. Your car is coming along well and i see that you have many more projects barking at your heels t the same time.
