It's a sad day, but I need to let this project go so it doesn't just rot away in my driveway. New baby, etc has eaten the time an money this project deserves, so I'm ready to pass this rare bird on to a new home.
1979 FJ55
Factory PS
Factory AC
3.73 Axles
4 spd manual
I bought this as a non-runner. Motor gave up on the previous owner due to smog gear issues, and he gave up on it. My plans were to do an SBC conversion, so I have sold some parts off the motor. So the block and most components are there, but it is missing the following items:
Intake and carb
Cylinder head
Alternator
All of the AC and PS components are still there, but as this never ran while owned it, I cannot attest to what works and what does not. The PO also did some de-smogging, so the smog pump is there, but again, not sure if that even works. The transmisstion and transfer case shift smoothly, and the crank turns by hand, and I belive the block to be rebuildable for someone who wanted to take it back to stock.
Some other points:
BODY/RUST:
Pretty standard Pig rust. Rear quarters not quite gone but heading there. Bottom of DS front fender rusted through. I have patch panels from rare spares for both rear quarters (not the rear corner, but the lower wheel well section) and also for the lower DS front fender, these would go with. Roof in pretty good shape, a little rust in the gutter but not much. Floor has some rust but not rusted through anywhere that I can see. Body is pretty straight with the exception of the PS rear corner, PO backed it into something, and this will need a donor or some pretty good body work. I do have and will include an aftermarket rear tail light assembly for this side as that was also destroyed in that incident.
Interior: Not great, but servicable. Door panels are all there, but warped, and some damage. Top of dash is in rough shape. Rear seat is stock and in good condition, front has been replaced with soem unknown grey cloth buckets.
If you need more details please email me at eperry0303@hotmail.com. I don't have the resources to part this out, so please do not ask about individual parts.
Listing on Craiglist for $1200, MUD price of $1000.
One day... will rejoin the ranks of Pig Owners...Just not in the cards right now.
