Just sold my generation 1 pajero for 3500 and traded my daily driver for this lovely 1978 3L diesel BJ landcruiser.
Now I got a few questions!
1. When the car breaks the tail swings to one particular side. What could be the causes of this?
2. As I want this project to be high quality I am considering sandblasting, acid dipping, soda blasting or similar form of looking after the chassis. How hard is to remove all the parts from the car for a complete novice? or how much would a shop charge for this?
3. The car drives REALLY well, even from cold. However it blows a LOT of smoke. I'm aware that this could be a small issue or something a bit more major. What are the most common issues causing this and how costly is it to fix?
4. What would be causing a bit of play in the stearing?
5. What is required in removing all the dash buttons and what sort of switches would be suitable instead? I'm thinking something like those missile switches.
6. Why are so many front bumpers hooked up to the springs? surely a crash or similar bump would ruin the whole suspension setup?
