Storm Trooper
The Minipi Cruiser
1996 FZJ 80
Purchased June 2012 w/ 92,000 Miles
Factory lockers, 3rd row, leather and rear heater.
I picked this FZJ because it was (apparently) clean, low miles, factory locked, and had the tan leather. I flew from Labrador to PA to purchase, import and drive home.
Upon picking it up (already bought sight unseen), I found there to be a bit more corrosion than I thought, the rear passenger fender flare was beat up, the stereo sounded terrible, and within 20 minutes of starting the trip the A/C Sh*t the bed.
The day I picked up the FZJ in PA.
When I made it home (my FJC pictured as well):
