Well, I'm getting the itch for a landcruiser. Have been cruising the local classifieds for a while. I came across an 82 BJ60 3B diesel, 4 sp for $2600 CDN, 315 K kms (is that high?). It does have some underbody rust and frame rust, though the body is free of rust. I will have a better idea once I see it in person. Engine and drivetrain are running strong, with an upgraded cooling system. There is a small fuel tank leak apparently.
Now I'm expecting to put some money to make the repairs. The thing that I don't know about most is repairing/replacing underbody and frame. Is the price worth it? It seems like a good deal to me.
It will be replacing our daily driver family vehicle , so reliability is key. I'd like to get a car with some ability to go off the beaten path for camping/fishing, but most of it will be in the city. I just don't know how much to prepare to spend. Any suggestions for guys to do this in the Vancouver, BC area?
Thanks in advance from a newbie!
