Land Cruiser

So I think everyone knows that we bought the VW on ebay and have been extremely pleased with it. So we tried again on an old FJ 40 Land Cruiser. Well...this time we didn't get so lucky. While it has all the coolness that an old Land Cruiser should it unfortunately also came with all the rust, body work, engine work and whatever other kind of work old cars need. In fact it has recently spent some quality time with a mechanic and after paying them several hundred of Ben's hard earned dollars we had to tow it home. Luckily Ben is very handy and was able to install a fuel pump and now it is back to the status in which it originally arrived in our driveway. It makes it one time around Candleberry Circle before crapping out.

So there is still some work to be done before we try to unload it on some other poor sap that wants to fix up an old car. I'm sure when this happens Ben and Nora will both be sad to see it go. They have spent many hours of father-daughter bonding time with that truck. Nora helped Daddy change the fuel pump and even pumped up the tires with it (wink, wink). Then they gave it a new paint job. Spray painting with a 3 year old is more adventure than I need!
