Hi all,
planning to bring my 1977 FJ40 back on the road. Bought it in CA in 2000 and then moved to VT in 2004. Was my daily driver until 2008 or so and then was mostly used around the yard, but has sat for the last 5 years or so. Recently rebuilt the carb and plan to do the clutch. But thinking about getting it road worthy and inspectable, I need to deal with the cracked windshield. I haven't taken the glass out, but the windshield frame looks pretty rough and I don't expect it can be repaired, at least not too easily. Wondering what people are using? I know there are some aluminum frames out there, anybody go that route? plus/minus of that? as always, any info is appreciated.
