1986 Land Cruiser 70 Series, LJ-73, LHD 2lT
129k miles.
Purchased in Romania fall 2023 from a family who had done a frame off restoration (and added the blue paint) in fall 2021. Kept it in Latvia for when I traveled back there, more work completed by my friend who owns a car restoration business in Latvia.
Brought it to the US about a month ago. Located in Salt Lake City. Feel free to reach out if you want more photos, I have shared album with all the resto work done in Latvia as well as some photos from Romania of the frame resto.
Runs and drives great.
