FJ Project Writeups / Re: Steve's 1985 FJ1100 restor...
Last post by STLanduyt - January 28, 2026, 07:27:32 PMThanks 86FJNJ for the pre-start list of essential things to do before cranking the engine after a prolonged hiatus i.e., decades not merely years. I won't be ready to give the engine a try for awhile since the carbs are off, so is the tank, and I don't have a battery yet. In the meantime, and now that the front fairing has been removed, I am cleaning up the front end, will remove the forks, take care of the rust, and repaint areas that need it, which is primarily the front frame (the silver/gray frame).
What available spray paint (rattle can) has been found the best match for the early FJ's?

Last post by Pat Conlon - January 27, 2026, 02:30:17 PMEric, Robert and I agree, the secret to success is with adhesives.
If you can't mechanically grab it, or hold it with vacuum, then as Timothy Leary suggested, better living thru chemistry...so to speak.
Can we start a betting pool? I'm in for 5 bucks...
