Hello from Switzerland

[Bananaboy]

Hi all!

Big hello from Switzerland. I Recently bought two project cars which will undergo some surgery. best parts of both cars combined to a pretty clean version and all bad parts combined to an offroad fun ride. The idea was born when searching for a high roof HJ61, which i found out were only built for Japan and Australia with RHD. I wanted an LHD version so combining an HJ60 high roof body with an HJ61 chassis and Motor was the best option, since this makes it the most easy to register for road use here in Switzerland. The build will start this winter, hopefully =)

The good parts include:

- Rebuilt 12H-T engine (about 50k km ago)
- Rebuilt Gearbox
- New OEM Doors, Tailgate, front Fenders (already painted in body color)
- clean Body freshly painted (floor still needs some work, bits of rust)

i found some cool parts to go with it already, but i'm still looking for some clear front corner lights for an HJ60 (round headlights) maybe someone here can point me in the right direction?

cheers guys!

For headlights, a great option is the Koito upgrade that @CruiserTrash has. This is a factory upgrade. Good luck with the project!

Hey James! Thank you so much for your kind offer of bringing stuff over to Europe!
And thank you for the link to the headlight upgrade. Definitely worth a thought. I was thinking of upgrading to more modern LED lights, but this option seems more period correct. Just in case: i was talking about the corner lights, or blinkers, or position lights as they are often called too. Originally they come with amber color but i am looking for clear glass versions which are available for the square headlight models such as HJ61 or FJ62, but are very rare for the earliere round headlight models HJ60 or FJ60 as shown bellow
