restoration

Have you heard about JIANGSU JUNCHENG? What is your opinion? Did anyone buy it? I find their production very interesting.

I want to transport my 1970 140 miles to a restoration shop. It may or may not stay there after being assessed and a proposal is made. I can borrow a F150 size truck. I like the tow bar idea. Is there any reason not to do it that way? Who sells suitable tow bars? I was planning on...

I inherited a 1977 FJ40. It hasn't run in about 15 years I believe but has been garage kept for at least the past 20-30 years. Where would you start with restoration? I'm looking to keep the original 2F engine. I am new to landcruisers. The frame is in good condition and has just a little bit of...

I havent even finished watching this, but had to pause it to post here. It is a COMPLETE restoration of a GX. I am talking every single nut and bolt from both the body and the frame. And it only had some small dings and a little rust. I cannot begin to imagine how much this costs.

Restoration of a legend, We are restoring a landcruiser FJ45LV from 1965 body panels almost read. now in surch for some small stuff. We need some parts ;right rear light complete and a stearing wheel. to begin with.

1979 FJ40 Olive Brown - In 1998 I bought as a Flintstone mobile with floor pans just gone. My avatar is it when i brought it home. Way before digital photography. Oddly enough that was the only rust to mention on the thing. Tore it down to the tub and engine in the frame and piddled off and...

Working on a resto and the interior was coated with bedliner. Water got under it and the pinch welds on top of the rockers where the bulb seal attaches were all rotted out from the inside of the truck. Looking for 4 cuts from the door areas - top of rocker, pinch weld to the floor pan. As...

I have a 1979 40 that has been sitting in my garage in a thousand pieces for long enough I am embarrassed to say. I took it down to the frame and completely rebuilt the transmission, transfer case and rear end. Cleaned and painted the frame. Put in new suspension and brakes and then life...

Found a 1997 FJ80 that blew up its engine a few years ago. The old owner couldent afford to do the rebuild on the engine so I took it off his hands last year and have been working on the truck with the help of my mechanic/friend for the last year. I plan on posting the entire build on here over...

probably too many of these threads out there already but figured I'd throw some more pictures in there as I go along

I've got plastic broken away around the fresh air intake on my '76 FJ40 blower motor housing. I know it's not that critical since it just draws fresh air from the vent on the side of the truck and won't be visible, but this is a complete resto, so I'd like to get it right. Anyone happen to have...

Hello folks! I need to get my power steering gearbox and pump rebuilt for my 88 FJ62. Any suggestions as to who I should mail these off to ?? Many thanks !

The original FJ purchased last year. It needed a lot of expensive parts. I bought it because the body and frame had no rust. It was a poor financial choice because I poured way too much money into it.

My front door cards came with speaker holes cut in courtesy of the previous owner. I managed to swap them for a pair of unmolested but shabby door cards. On the 'new' door cards, the vinyl covering is pretty much perfect, but the fibreboard (not sure what it's called in the US) is warped and...

Looking for all door and side glass for a 91 FJ70. We're doing a restoration and ours has unfortunately had the VIN etched in it in very large print. Let me know if you have anything...

Anyone had any work done at lch? I know there are plenty of threads about their leather seat covers and the reviews both positive and negative but it seems there are a fair amount of LC restoration work going on there. Has anyone here had any work done on a 100 series there? I plan on turning...

M416 Jeep Trailer - One of the cleanest finds for these rare trailers. Appears to have factory undercoating peeling on the bottom of the tub and other paint peeling. Very small amount of surface rust. Comes with Bill of Sale. PVC cage is not included and just sitting inside tub. Perfect for...

Hi All I've been a silent observer on this forum for a while and have gained a lot of insights from all of you. I finally took the plunge and purchased an FJ40, with the primary goal of diving into car repairs and learning welding. Only thing i done before was the 50cc mopeds in my youth. So i...

1978 FJ45 body parts needed. New or good used OK. Need box sides, box floor, patch panels for both doors, inner and outer rockers for both sides, torpedo lateral both sides, patch panels for rear of floor, patch panels for rear cab corners or complete lower back cab panel. Individual parts or...

Not sure if this has been posted here, I'm usually in the 70 section, but this is a really cool video of the complete restoration of a 40 by what looks like a group of high school or college kids in Japan in what's called the Toyota Technical College, in Nagoya. I'm assuming this is a program...
