Hello to everyone!

Can some nice people out there answering me on how compatible are the fj40 body part with the fj45 1977 I'm looking to replace my firewall body mount, in and out rocker panels, incline panel both side ( lower part of firewall ) floor panel both side. Thank you for your answer Guy

I hope they are very compatible as I just put an entire cowl on my tub to change my 45 from RHD to LHD. The body shop is performing a test fit right now and he has not mentioned any issues with the cowl yet. They are suppose to be the same.
