    1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 complete resto/ upgrade from stock

    It is interesting how rusted up the bottom is when everything else is so polished. It makes me think that when they did the frame off, if they did, they didn't bother refinishing the bottom properly? There is usually some rust dust down there but that to me looks like a little more extensive...

The only reason I drove the BMWs were because of their relative affordability to track performance and ability to transfer to the street.
