Picked her up yesterday evening. Some rust. Mostly all there. Could be a soldi platform as a 4 door land cruiser. More story and updates later today. My oldest and I are going to try and fire her up. I’ll post a vid too maybe.
My 1970 FJ55

After 7 years into pig life, I still don't understand the attraction to these rigs but it is undeniable nonetheless...
Yours looks as crusty as mine way back when. I worked like hell getting it drivable, then presentable and finally reliable and a badass head-turner everywhere I go.
Take your time because the resto-mod work is half the fun.

Nice, looks like a lot of good stuff on her, but I don't see the clutch pedal. Have some fun with it!
Lucky dog!
Looking forward to seeing this thing come back to life!!
This appears to be one of those instances where you just say, screw the rust! Clean the heck out of it, get everything running and operating and then just drive it.

Thx. Yeah, no idea. Maybe it is sea foam.....I think there are some people that are jealous of nebula green 55s
It looks a little too pale for nebula to me. Maybe sea foam?

Yeah. You guys are a wild bunch compared to most of those old farts in the 45 section!

Yeah. Either way, just trying to find out as this gun metal grey isn’t really my speed. Even if I just break it up with where white would traditionally go.
Is there a plate under the hood on the passenger side? Not sure if they had them in 1970. That plate would show the factory paint code.
Congrats by the way. Looks better on a trailer than in the woods.

Congratulations she is an awesome specimen, I would make her run, glue a permanent grin on my face and never look back.
