So after 6 months of staring, drooling, and bugging my wife I bought my first land cruiser. It’s a 1987, 215k, and I got it for a whopping $2500.
I think I bought the rustiest cruiser in North America however the frame has nothing but light surface rust (that I saw).
I will be starting somewhat of a “budget” frame up restoration. I am however needing some help from some of you guys that have been at this awhile. If anyone can’t point me in the direction of both L & R rocker panels I’d really appreciate it. I have generally been able to find everything else on the shopping list except these.
Here is my progress photos the last couple days and pictures of all the rust for your general enjoyment of the s***show I’ve gotten myself into.
adjusted carb and got it running
stripped interior to inspect for additional rust
