Got me a 60 a few months ago and just need some advice how to handle some rust spots.
This is the extent of the rust on the vehicle. How do I handle this rust so it doesn't spread any further? Sand to bare metal and spray with primer?
I live in socal so I'm not too worried, but I'd like to get...
Some more info:
The engine is an L98 5.7 liter TPI, out of a 1989 C/k1500. Transmission is out of a Corvette.
No rust. New cat. New leaf spring bushings. New tie rods. New knuckle seals and drag links. Sound deadening throughout.
Another consideration for me, is the car is already titled in...
Thanks guys. Stuff like engine placement, mounts, cross member, ect., are things I wouldn't of thought of. I've never dealt with an engine swap car before. Thanks for the insight.
I'll definitely see the car before I pay. I know what to look for in general, but just wanted to know if there was any specific related to a swap that wasn't obvious I should rule out before I even go. Thanks for your reply!
Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a V8 swapped FJ60. I've found one that is too far away to go see, so before I fly out there, what are some specific to V8 swaps questions I should ask? It's a Chevy 350 swap done by a performance shop. What should I be weary of? Thanks.
Hey guys, I don't want to start another thread so I'll post this here. There is an 85 FJ60 I'm looking at. It has a diesel swap and is titled and registered as a diesel in it's current state. Can I register this in CA as a diesel? Thanks.
Hehe, just my luck we'll end up JUST that short of a down payment when we find our dream house... Selfishly hoping it's still available after we close heh. Good luck with it.
