Hey all!
After driving by an old friends auto garage/dismantler I spotted an FZJ80 sitting with weeds growing through it. Drove by for weeks and never moved. So one day I go in and ask him what the story was. It had been a customers who gave it to his grand daughter to drive and she had ran it out of oil and seized the engine
Other than that it had been running 7 months prior.
Long story short, after offering him $800 to be funny. showed up the next day, loaded it onto a trailer, followed it home and now it has become the newest project.
The plan is to pull the engine completely and install a used one that I have gone through. I'm fairly decent with cars, been doing engine work/repairs for awhile as well as other things so not nervous about that but would like any advise from someone who has done a full rebuild/restoration, cuz lawd knows she'll needs some TLC
Any help/advise where to get good parts or cheaper parts would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
