Still has the hand primer fuel pump and it still works….

What a survivor, heater elbows intact, red seatbelts, amazing og dash paint! Jack in its holder, mint floors, the list goes on!!! In the last 27 years I have only found a couple 45’s in this condition, and its 2023!!! Never thought another was out there! Glad it found the right person to keep it original with some tasteful upgrades if needed!!

Thanks Brian, far from perfect as you know they all have their bumps and bruises. This one however still retains lots of its original pieces that are usually long gone. It has the typical PO things you wonder who decided it would be a good idea to mount a light on the fenderthe thing that’s crazy to me is that is still has the flanges…..no hubs. Probably never had them.

Here is my restored 65 dash on sage with a few knobs moved around for convenience no drilling of course just moving one knob for another. And the this 65 dash. Killer….

Thanks for the kind words Also.

A few more photos for all you 45 nuts like me.

If someone has been looking for a good FJ45LPB shoot me a pm and we can talk. This just might save me from myself.

This Would be an awesome candidate for Nolan to work his magic on

Fuel tank out for a good cleaning and sealing. Floors look excellent. Already started to add things…New blinkers, bib lights, gas cap And a pile of other parts to go on.

My apologies for the tardy reply. I finally remembered to check for the headlight, apparently I have already passed that one on to another mud member.

 

[cppilot]

Thanks for checking.

It has one original Koito headlight that works, I wish it had both but maybe I can find one. Anyone?
