    Old School Body Shop

    I have a 1997 LX450 in white. It is a super clean car but had a tree recently fall over the two front fenders and hood. State Farm paid the claim but the fenders are no longer available AND our local shops (including dealer) don't do single stage paint. I want to keep it as is with the orig...

    Rebuild head or whole engine

    Background: I have two 97s and Joey’s turbo is going on my favorite one of the two. But, very low compression in that engine (350k miles with orig HG) and much better in the other (160-170 on all with 385k but has had HG replaced). I’m stumped because I was trying to figure out if just a head...

    Last VINs for FZJ80s

    I have a November production 1997 Cruiser. I’m surprised that production month is so late in the year as they would have switched to 100 series by August of 97 (per my thinking). Is there a resource to tell how close mine is to the last ones made? Thanks for any help.
