looking for body and electrical work in PNW

[birdog009]

Greetings,

I am in the Tacoma area of Wa state. I am looking for recommendations for someone who is savy with electrical systems of a 78 fj40 mostly stock. Also hard to find an old school welder and paint guy.

any suggestions?

Can't help with body and paint but I used Pacific Auto Air for electrical work on my 40 several years ago. Old school type shop on 94th and Pacific ave in S Tacoma. I don't see a website so you might just need to drop in on them. Good luck!

Isn't there a land cruiser club in the area? A 78 shouldn't have a lot of chips in it. Test probe, multimeter, and perhaps a wire signal generator along with the most important tool the correct wiring diagram should make light work of electrical issues. Clean every ground first. Then clean and inspect the contacts in every plug followed by a thin coat of dielectric grease

I'm not super close to PNW, but I'd be more than happy to throw my hat in for sheet metal and bodywork.
