I finally have my 1980 Fj45 pickup imported from Saudi Arabia, so the slow process of getting it where I want it to be is going to begin. I am by no means mechanically inclined, and unfortunately don't have the time or the space to do the restoration myself so I have found a garage in Dubai that does good work, and am trusting that with the right guidance they will be able to get it looking like it did/or slightly better than when it first came off the line.
To start out with, a brief rundown of the condition that it came in:
Overall I am happy, with a solid body apart from rusted drivers side floor panel, a few bends here and there, and some significant rust in the pickup bed. The PO worked the truck hard and it shows. That beind said, the engine seems strong and all I see is potential.
