Well this time next week, hopefully I have photos of half naked women draped over my Patrol and a few men for Leslie and Urban60

Well roof off 90%, just need to do the front frames. Someone had undone the rear frame bolts in the past 10 years so no issues.

My only tip for next time is to leave the side windows on, take top canvas only off. Then would be able to take whole frame and side canvas off in one go. As the side canvas was quite tricky just undoing the bottom bar. Mine needed to come out anyway as these were bent from the break in a few months back.But would save 30 min of the process for next time.

Sailtracks, make sure rope is fully in, my right side track, the canvas was slightly out, looked ok, but NO NO NO, once I pulled it back, she was fine.

Geez I hope someone that knows Patrol's buys this.

Well my 73 is sold and will be heading to Casino.

Quite sad, happy, etc as the 73 has been a big part of my life, but feels like it has been getting in the way recently. When I bought the 73, the original owners wanted to make sure the new owner was going to care for her and not trash it etc. They had turned away anyone who was not going to care for the car. Talking with the new owner who has a collection of Toyota's, I feel very comfortable that the 73 will be cared and looked after. Hopefully the new owner will show his head in here.

Well back from holidays and got a little time on the 73.

Was able to give her a wash, get soft top frame on and most of the canvas on. Really is something you don't want to do often.

Hopefully have it all ready for Hugo this weekend, so shipping can be arranged to Casino
