I'm selling my 94. Built, lockers, complete engine rebuild, and very clean interior. And I live in SW Colorado, wheeeee!
Feel free to PM me should you desire additional info.
My rig is probably more than you're looking for, I just decided to sell my locked 1994. It has 219K miles, but engine was rebuilt last year by a reputable local machine shop and has about 12K since. Interior is very clean and I have cloth manual seats and the original leather seats. Two inch...
A year ago my head gasket s*** the bed. I had the head rebuilt and reinstalled it. I immediately started going through a quart of oil every 75-80 miles. Before that, it was a quart every five hundred miles or so. I then had the engine rebuilt and no longer burn oil.
I need a set of front seat belt buckle receivers / latches from a manual seat LC (94). These are the kind that mount to the floor, unlike the motorized seat versions that mount to the seat. Thanks!
I need both front seatbelts receptacles for manual seats (the part that bolts to the floor on manual seats). Just switched from leather motorized seats with seat-mounted receptacles. Thanks!
If you want to simplify things slightly, you can replace the hood struts with a rod to prop the hood up. The 80 was even designed for one, although it was factory on US vehicles. It's a direct bolt-in and there's a hole in the hood to accommodate it.
Where in Indiana art thou? I lived in...
Lurv, try contacting Classic Cruisers in Pancha Springs. They may have a running used engine, or, perhaps, they can help locate one. Another person who can help, and is relatively close to you, is Justin at High Country Cruisers (Pagosa Springs). Good luck, d00d.
Four weeks since I yacked that deer, I finally gathered the parts needed to make this beast road-worthy again. I kinda like the graffiti decorating the replacement hood and will retain it for now. The DEPO lights look tits!
Nice work, MPolley!
In what part of Cincinnati are you? I lived in Madisonville up until last October. I recall seeing another FZJ 80 just once the two years I was there.
Sorry to have kept all y'all on pins and needles for so long.
Briefly, my mechanic took the rig to his shop, where a compression test showed about 140 across all six cylinders (kinda low, I think). The leak-down test proved that the rebuilt head was fine, but there was some audible "hiss"...
