Hi guys,
If been on and off this forum, mostly viewing and using it on informational bases.
If got a HJ61, which I completely rebuild, during a 2 year project. Being away for work (floating somewhere offshore Rio de Janeiro) I have time to post some pics of the past 2 years. I plan on updating from time to time, as there is more to come.
A Land-cruiser is never finished....
This is my Cruiser shortly after I bought it.
Still, 2,5 years later, nameless...
It's an imported original 24V HJ-61 from Finland. It was originally equipped with a PTO winch, but this was sold separately before I got a hand on the car.
Since I got it, i did the following major jobs:
- rebuild front axle with new birfields
- overhauled gearbox including a new 5th
- overhauled transfer case
- overhauled rear axle
- installed new clutch
Rust on the bottom of the doors made me start the project. The plan was to thread each door, and prevent further rust from causing problems. I had a good look over the car when I bought it and in the back of my mind, I knew there was a lot more to come..
Rust on the bottom of the doors was part 1 on of the project...
