Hi
Can anyone give me any references or advice on doing a frame off restoration on my 1981 HJ45?

Just got done with and HJ47!

I just finished a very similar restoration on a 1980 HJ47. Let me know of any advice or help you need. It was a great project and ended up really cool. I'll send you some pics here in a bit but I am on a real slow dial up right now.

What I did...

-Full frame up rebuild
-POR15 on the entire frame and chassis
-I rebuilt the H diesel and fitted it with a turbo and intercooler.
-Lifted the truck with OME springs and BDS shocks.
-Front and rear ARB Air Lockers.
-Aluminium fenders
-H55F transmission

This gentleman did a phenomenal restoration on his 1965 FJ45LV

That thread is all you need. I agree.

It would be neat if all that info from the FJ45LV resto (link above) could somehow be put on a DVD?? Maybe the OP could put one together with a voice over of the pics and sell it, like they did for a front axle/birf rebuild.
