Hi everyone.
I am Willem from the South parts of The Netherlands.
Bought a Hj60 from 1981 with a 12ht motor in it. I drove a half year approx 3 times a week with no problems.
After some time there was some surface rust at the know places so I thought to fix that quick with some sanding and painting. I could not be more wrong. After the sanding more and more holes came to light.
So now I am in a full restoration project. I found myself a welder and were currently working on bringing some fresh new metal to all the well know rusted places.
I missed this all when I bought the car. Everything was fixed very primitive and covered up with lots of kit, and body filler. But yeah be positive. At least I know now what I am getting .

Rear offroad steel bumper with spare wheel carrier
Alumium roofrack from hannibal
