Hello TLC people,
I have just bought a 1979 TLC FJ 43. The good thing is it has its original 2F engine but interestingly she has a 3 Speed manual trans on the floor which makes her pre 74 but then again she has a 2F. Any clues anyone??
I am begining restoration as we speak the engine is in great condition but the steering box needs to be changed, all ball joints, needs also 2 new shocks in front, new alternator, a few filters and a rear diff plug. Mechanically she is worthy, but sadly the body needs alot of work, lots of rust under the hinges and even in many parts of the chassis, I plan to sand blast the chassis after finishing the mechanical work.
First Mechanical and Under-Carriage work
2nd Electrics
3rd Body and Soft Top
or does anyone suggest otherwise ?
I plan to keep this baby for life, OME in the near future, Roll Bar, Extra tanks and lots of mods to count. All in time...
