Hello Everyone!
Last week I posted that I was looking at a 1985 fj60 and needed some advise as a nervous first time buyer. Thanks to the confidence inspired by this awesome community (who not only gave feedback on the post but instantly responded to my additional pictures) I came away with my first cruiser! Thank you all again! I ended up getting her for $5250 and couldn't be happier.
This weekend I started taking care of some of the simple cosmetic things. Cleaning the interior made a big difference. And fortunately the seats that the seller said were in terrible shape/were covered the ten years he had it turned out to look pretty good! This week the real fun begins, getting the brakes fixed and figuring out what needs attention under the hood. I plan to start learning how to do some of the work myself so I'm sure I'll be back here often.
Everyone - meet Sheila
