Sold! Sorry for all the non replies for people wanting parts. Had to sell this whole and finally did.

Have a 3B in Bellingham that is in my rusted out BJ60 that I need to scrap/part out soon. Ran perfectly until I pulled the fuel tank a few months back

I'm sure a moderator could move it for you, or you could link (copy and paste the address) in this forum.

Beauty!

I never thought of what a 2 tone OEM Toyota paint code looked like, interesting. I'm only slightly familiar with the 60 series cruiser colors and they have one beige and 2 champagne #s. Beige: 464 Champagne: 48E (bronzish) and 27G (silverish). You might have better luck trying to pick the...

Yep, my BJ60 can do 70 mph in 4th gear and it weighs about 5,000 pounds. A 5 speed and a turbo are coming up as soon as I have some extra cash laying around. Great motor, built to outlast its owners, but a bit unrefined for some peoples tastes.

A BJXX will have a 3.4 litre 4 cylinder diesel, neither of the 2 you are talking about have that engine. The HZJ73 would be an awesome rig, the other sounds like an LJ..I would choose the HZJ over most B and every L model myself.

I wouldn't do a thing unless it kept me up at night, then I might wash and wax it. From now till fall probably the worst that will happen is the paint will fade a little more in areas without clear.

Looking good man, looks like you are keeping the shrinkage and warping in check, keep up the good work.

You really need to get down to bare metal somewhere nearby to establish a solid ground. I have seen some guys use stranded copper wire stripped of insulation under their clamps when having contact issues which seems like a good idea.

Hell yeah! Im currently doing similar work as you are and and like you, decided to read as much as possible. If you havent seen this thread (different forum) Welding in patch panels - The Garage Journal Board I would recommend you check it out and you will notice pretty quick that one guy...

Sounds like a good deal on a nice looking color scheme, I want to see some finished shots once you have it complete.

Bondo sucks for filling holes, its pretty good for small imperfections though. Be a champion and cut that rust out and weld in new metal.

It doesn't look great but its hard to tell what you are looking at until you get it down to bare metal. Bubbles under paint typically point to needing to cut the bad metal out and patching in new or replacing the entire panel or door or whatever if you want it done right. Since you are wanting...
