Yeah right. I'm not full bottle on it so that's something else I've learnt. I purchased this back in the nineties when I didn't know how rare these things were. The remaining parts from the column and the 4wd activation I removed and are long gone. Wish I had of kept them. I also was having...

Was floor when I got it but still had remains of column shift and 4wd activation on the dash.

It's strange how it works. I guess they just had the engines sitting there and they grab which ever was closest 🤔 Do you know where I might find a roof? It's most likely the one thing that will stop me from completing a resto.

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while. It went into storage as I moved house twice. I am settled in now and the cruiser is out of storage and in my shed. Just reading back over this thread. SILVER Star mine has 6 ribs in the back of the cab 🫤

I haven't ordered one yet. Chemo is slowing me down right now. I'm just researching at this stage. When my health gets better I'll start the process. also, someone on here mentioned to me about a guy in Perth "@andybudge" How would one get in touch with him? Is he an Ih8mud member??

I'm thinking the same. If I can get an aftermarket one with "Landcruiser" stamped in it I'll be happy"

Finally figured out how to load these pic of the ole girl (I thinks anyway) As you can see the roof is completely rusted. I'm thinking a fibreglass one down the track. Solid one piece cab which you never see around here. Think it was originally a fire truck. 3 speed box. Ford straight 6 250ci...

Thanks to all the replies guys.pics will come on the weekend as I'm currently away. In regards to the missing bezel...well it actually arrived with a plain one installed in its place which suggests it was loaded onto the truck like that and it's was locked up inside a sea container. I don't...

Hi guys. I'm a new here. From Western Australia. I've owned my 63 fj45 For about 25 years. It was always a bit rough around the edges but was a daily driver. I moved interstate about 14 years ago and was unable to bring it/her with me. I've finally got it shipped over and ready for restoration...
