Well I must be a glutton for punishment or some sort of addict. My FJ40 build is only about 2/3 done and I already have project number two in the hopper.
1970 FJ55 - I found it the same way I found my FJ40. I put a "wanted" add here on the forum and had dozens of people contact me. There were several that were a good price, but too far away. There were several that were close but over my budget or too far gone. I needed something that was mostly complete, not a complete rust bucket, and in the south east. This one was PERFECT. I am thankful for all you guys who gave me a heads up, and helped me find this PIG.
Here is a few initial pics. I will give all the juicy details of the condition and my plans soon. The short answer is I am not doing a frame off like my FJ40. The goal is to get this thing cleaned up, on the road, reliable, and start having some FUN with it!
We named him "Winchester Buckshot III" see the post on page 4 for the details of his name
