    Bj70 Rusteration

    Having cut out every speck of rust and replacing it with new metal it’s down to rear doors. I have a door and have swapped the stock12v for the 24v wiper etc. Do I need to change glass, any difference between 24v-12v defrost? The glass is a pia to remove ohm readings are different.

    1981 FSM value?

    Turned up an old FSM. Doesn't cover anything that I own but I'm sure someone else could need it. I have no idea what it's worth. Should I flog it? If so how much?

    Best head light?

    The time has come to choose new head lights for a bj70. The pathetic stock sealed beams have to be replaced. There are no other lights at present. Cost is not the biggest concern but of course it counts. Led? I've heard harsh cut off but lower amp draw. I've always run a replaceable bulb type...
