Have you got a thread going on your 68? The glove box door mount looks to be 68 and later. Same with the bracket for the windshield fastener. 67 had a clamp 68 used the bolt with the plastic knobs. Got anymore info pictures? What are plans for it?

Gday , No thread on the 68 but should start one soon. It has a ford 302 windsor fitted but may remove that, dont know yet. It will be getting the factory ute tub and a factory paint colour with split rims.

Well it looks like the FJ43 is for sale. I guess I out. I could start heading west with my car hauler but once I get to LA I would run out of road pretty quick. Needs to be trailered from it's present location.

And, who bought it? Would love to know and hope someone restore it to pristine condition. They are very scarce. As far as I know, I own the only one in South Africa, maybe even Southern Africa.

Thread revival in the hope of news?

Interesting. I just spoke with someone today who just imported a 1964 (?) FJ43 from AU. I thought there was no such thing, but this thread and the VIN plate pictured are more proof. Very cool and uber-rare.

G'day all, I am currently rebuilding my 1968 fj45p and was told of a parts car that looked like mine and was going to be s****d so went to look and its a 1962 fj43 . I ended up draging it home on a trailer but now what to do, are they worth anything as ive never seen one here before. thanks.View attachment 487240

Hi, I got the car in germany. Bought it in Autralia. I own it for about 10 years.
Had no time to rebuild it until now but its time will come.
Funny to find it here...

@kayeskita ,

I have to ask: can you explain how that is sitting up on that rack?

 

[kayeskita]

I put some strong pieces of wood under the axles. That´s all.

Can you make up a more entertaining story? We are all here for the entertainment.
