My dads mate from the fx - fj club had a 186 stroker with a 5 speed Celica gearbox in his fj. It surprised the #### out of me when he took me for a spin!

bit more on project bertha last night, most of the old paint stripped, quite a few dents:

as expected:

dents right on a fkn difficult part to fix:

smashed in door handle:

rusty window frame:

door #2:

massive dent:

the good thing about bertha is she uses nice thick steel. the bad thing is she uses nice thick steel.... some of those dents are gonna be tough to knock out.

And it's stupid pommy steel too. Which will act like a trampoline and spit the hammer straight back at you. Other than that, nice work ari
