The hardtop is ready to be painted.
Yesterday I installed the rear seat belts, now I can drive with more than one passenger!

I switched my wheels with my brother. My white wheels are going to his white FJ and he gave me his four chrome wheels for my FJ. Then I had to blast with sand to take out the chrome for painting them red. And I also bought an extra wheel for the spare tire.
