dumb restore questions

[fyton2v]

Any hidden "gotchas" to purchasing a FJ40, with the intent to restore, that has 20 year old undercoating from the PO?

Also...

Is it bad karma to repaint a FJ40 to another color from the same year?

Thanks.

Sounds like the rig I just bought. Old school Ziebart undercoating on it.. most has flaked off. The metal under it is in really good shape.

Paint it whatever color you want. I hear pink is 2004's hot color. ;p

My 77 has something similar but it has surface rust underneath the material. Just poke around and inspect to see if you can find any major rust . More than likely you'll just be lookin at surface rust underneath worst case. Good luck.
