Hi
I have 2 FJ45LV without engine and with body needed a lot of work and care. Both rescued from almost abandoned situations.
I am thinking to restore one as original as possible, but probably with a 2F/3F/FZ engine and h55f transmission.
And the other to do the same, or I could also consider to put the FJ45LV body on a more modern chassis/frame. If I go that way, has anyone done it? Would you choose to do it on a 60 or 80 or 105 chassis/transmission/engine?
Sorry for the purists, in general I am very purist, but having a FJ45LV with more capacity to drive long distances is something I am starting to consider
So if you have done it and has some experience to share please let me know what i should do and i shouldn’t… wheelbase difference I guess is the fist issue to study/evaluate
Thanks for your comments!
