Has anyone put in a diesel engine besides the B series in an fj40? Is it possible? worth it? I am planning on buying an FJ40 and possibly putting a diesel in it since its so hard to find a good BJ.

Thanks.

How expensive is it to replace the rear quarter panels of a 77' FJ40? I found a FJ localy that seems to be in good running order with original paint, but it has a fair amount of rust on both rear quarter panels.

Thanks. Of the FJ 45s in the US, are they well taken care of because only enthusiasts brought them in?

How much harder is it to find FJ 45s than 40s?

Thanks alot! that really makes it easier for me to get an FJ. Do they have a website or an Email address?

Thanks, would they be reliable source to answer some FJ questions? Do they know much about the 40s?

thanks

Thanks for your advice.

Ive read the entire thing (FAQ). I cant get a car until next summer, so I'll be doing a lot of research. I heard that the early 70s models were more rust resistent. If I found a rust free early 70s model would it be hard to add disc brakes and poweer steering?

I just want it equipped with power steering and Ive heard that the majority of people like th models after 77'. Its going to be my first car so I'll be driving it as my main car, but if I need to fix something I can just drive my parents.

I know I need to get an FJ40 with as little rust as possible. I also know I want an fj made after 77'. Is there anything else that I should look for in an FJ40?

OK, I am looking at th 10k range (for an FJ40) would that be a decent running car?

Would it be better to buy a cheap busted up FJ and fix it up, or get one in decent condition and only a couple minor repairs?
