My first 80! (1 Viewer)

[suzuguru]

So, I just bought my first 80 Series! It's a '96 Triple-Locked HDJ80 from the Canary Islands. Hasn't shipped yet, but hoping to get it on the water soon. After getting it home, the first order of business will be ditching the ghetto wheels for something a little more appropriate.

Way to go. I'll bet you are excited. I would be.

Handing the money over puts a damper on it, but I'm definitely excited.

Left hand side steering, nice. Congratulations!

Nice find. Is it also stick shift? The wheels aren’t too bad.

Thanks! It’s a manual shift.

How's the process going? I've wondered about going through it myself.

Thanks to @ToyotaDyna at Canarian Land Cruiser Exports, the process has gone very smoothly. Looks like this will be shipping out the first week of February. I'm already looking for another one!

What happened to their website?

I think it’s on instagram now. I didn’t use the website much. I found one on my own, and had him deal with it on my behalf.

Maybe they merged with Canary Island Rovers.

No, not a chance. Furthermore, I would not advise anyone to use Canary Island Rover. I started out with him, and it was a huge waste of time and money.

Finally on the way to the U.S.
