Figured it was time to add a thread for another BJ73 and document the trials and tribulations of "the build." IN Dec 2020 I sold my 1978 FJ40 (Irish's Slow 1978 Rustic Green Build | IH8MUD Forum). After a long rebuild, I had made it too nice to use and it was sitting, so I was determined to find a 70-series after wanting one for years. Here is the build for my Euro spec 24v 1990 BJ73 with a 3bii and h55.
