FJ45LV project SFValley

[zimcesar]

I got this 1964 LV in the Mojave area a few months ago. The previous owner installed a 2f engine. The lv runs but needs a lot of work, missing front and rear seats ,the body is in very good condition, some holes on the roof, but very minimal rust. Here are some pics and I will be posting more and asking for your help as I move along.

thats actually in pretty good shape.whats your plan for it? are you thinking about keeping it as stock as possible or modding it a bit? good luck with the build whatever you do!!

 

[zimcesar]

I want to keep it stock as much as a can, only two thinks that I want to change,
Power steering (got it OEM from a 79 FJ55 on ebay) and add floor shifthing(from ebay too), you'll see the picture.

Where in the Mojave area was that hiding?????




Nice find! How much did you give for it if you don't mind me asking?

I only ask because I live about 12 miles from Mojave, and would have bought that one myself

You are doing more justice than I could to it though.

I've been over to Cesar's at looked at looked at this LV first hand and the body looks like it was made yesterday. That Mojave air kept it pretty much rust free. I'm gonna take some measurements and detailed pics next time I go over just so I know how some of the parts were originally made and what they're supposed to look like. This is gonna be one sweet ride when it's done. Congrats Cesar.
