I feel like this is one of the most impressive parts on these builds. I cannot imagine how many hours of reverse engineering and recreating this harness took!! And I would guess, without needing to know the secret sauce of SNLC, that these have to be modified from even the OEM harness based on...

Great to see someone using their troopy as a van! And like any good van the fesh fesh never really truly goes away completely.

I think the Norwegian church mechanic also sprayed over the engine bay plate. They should have scratched an HZJ79 serial no. to increase the price! Good luck with sale

There is definitely a list of things that help a posting like this along on here. For this troopy I would say: Price (you posted already) Engine bay shots to show rust and whether any bush repairs are hanging around Under carriage shots to see how the frame and suspension are holding up...

Just found this thread late, but it looks like the FSM shows the Euro spec HDJ100 got the A750 in 08.2003, one year after every other market. Since you’re being shipped home I’ll assume military, it would be sweet to buy something under 25 years old and get working on it before coming home...

This thing has more crust than the end of the bread loaf. But what a spec indeed, and probably would have sold for $20k just two years ago!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this is the first post from this seller that is not outrageously priced. If somebody wants a Gturbo/intercooled manual 80 and doesn’t mind paying $50k+ for an RHD, doesn’t mind doing the rest of the major maintenance, and is willing to pay 100% of MSRP for...

Depending on your US destination’s elevation you could enjoy a nice 20% hp increase! That’s one way to gain power in the 1FZ

Now we just need to convince the new owner to get back to this build’s roots with a V8 gasser 😂

Just from the YouTube videos about the accident!

Is that Nutty Putty Cave??

Saw the same on MoPac last week… heading out for a fun daily drive?

Really cool example of the time and work it takes to get some performance out of the old HDFT that a lot of us crave. I’ve enjoyed your build a lot as a great example of a good mix of basic maintenance baselining, “return to OEM” on interior and body, and unlocking some perforce with the PDI...
