Hi All,
So I'm looking to buy my friend's 1992 land cruiser for cheap ($1500). There are a few issues that I will have to contend with including bringing it up to SMOG regulations in California ( CEL is on and missing O2 sensors + something wrong with cats ). I'll also have to baseline the truck as well and do a knuckle rebuild + convert the A/C or recharge with some R12.
However, one of the things that I'm also looking at is the rust underneath the vehicle as well. I'm pretty sure this is surface rust and will probably treat the underside to a nice wire brush and some coating. However my concern is, there is something in the last image that looks like there a bolt that no longer is there due to it being rusted out. Is that support of concern?
