New BJ42 Owner (1 Viewer)

[Flunob]

Hi all,

I've just purchased a 1981 BJ42 European model, imported to the Uk from Finland in 2016. Last owner had it for 7 years and hasn't taken particulalrly good care so lots of work to do (which is largely why I bought it). Currently drive a 1999 HDJ101K, still with only 52k miles on it, previously owned two 95 series Colorado and been driving Landcruisers for 20+ years - always wanted a 40 and now I have one!
I have a lot to learn and having read through a few threads can see there is a lot of experience on here so looking forward to reaching out when I run into the inevitable difficulties!

Here is mine: BJ42 going in half - project - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/bj42-going-in-half-project.1065030/
Just noticed that I haven’t updated that for a while. The last two years have been spent building a new garage, but I have installed a turbo to that 3B.
