Introduction - ‘78 FJ40 in Aus (2 Viewers)

[7840au]

G’day!

Bought my 40 almost a year ago and have consulted Mud numerous times for info and realised I should just join!

Mine needs a list of stuff done for me to get it road registered which I’m working through.

My 40 is not going to be a daily driver but just for pure enjoyment, day trips with family and a few camp trips away each year.

As is common, mine has some rust, minor internal stuff. The POx2 had the exterior repainted so it’s beautiful just to look at!

Look forward to learning more and getting it on the road to figure out what works and what don’t!

Welcome mate in the Mud, your new home!

PS. Perhaps some more pics of your great Cruiser (e.g. interior and engine bay)?
Your tyre size?

Thanks, here’s some more pics.
Currently pulled apart in the shed while I’m working on some rust repairs, heater box refurb, fuel tank refurb and prep for seats.
Tyres are 7.50R16’s on repainted steel split rims. Original 2F with 51458kms on the odometer so who knows how many times it’s rolled over at 100k!

Nice rig! This is the closest I’ve found to my 1978 Aussie FJ-45, currently being put back together after a full frame-off resto
