I looked at this pig today and wish I had the room (and wifes ok) to buy it. Pics don't lie on this one . Solid, runs, good glass, only surface rust minus one small patch in passenger floor. Work done by Ben so far is quality. Best 55 I've seen under $10k. Just sayin because I've seen a few that look good in pics then you go to see it and...

I can second what RyanP said. I've been looking at it as well. The low mileage, fair price and potential of this pig make it darn tempting.

Great looking FJ55. I have seen far worse for far more $$.

Good luck, and frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't sold already.

Yep, I have to remember that it’s after Christmas and winter time. I do have a major
Project in the wings

Front floors have had some quick repairs... Passenger floor is solid with a patch in corner and the drivers floor has multiple patches and will eventually need to be replaced.

 

[Pigeaten]

Have these been repaired?

What is that you painted it with? Is it just white paint or is that some sort of rust inhibitor?

Rustoleum cheapie stuff that was applied with a shop rag. The floors are amazing in this piggie, but the fronts, in particular the drivers front need work.
I will eventually pull the front seat and rubber mat and address them correctly with metal replaced and POR and paint.
I have a plan to keep working on this project with exhaust and brakes next. The price will have to go up to reflect the work.
Thanks

Hey, Since I am going to be gone next weekend I will put the FJ55 outside my shop. You are welcome to inspect it and I will get you my address. No keys, but your welcome to crawl inside and out.
Thanks
