Well I just bought a 1978 FJ55. Originally smurf blue, now green. Very little visible rust, bucket seats, power steering mod, and more.
Of course I had to pick a day that was pouring rain after having a week of sun to try and drive it home. My stupid ass decided it'd be a good idea to drive it an hour back with a broken front shock mount, bald 33" tires, and questionable brakes. I know, idiot, flame away.
Made it half way before the weather got worse and maybe I shouldn't be driving before it's insured.
So I'm waiting on a tow now.
Pictures to come when I finally get it home. Plans are to turn it into a camping/expo rig. Going to fix the sloppiness in the front end first thing as well as tackle the brakes and put new tires on it.
Any advice and criticism is welcome.
