Hello everyone!
I've owned multiple classics but I’m totally new to the land cruiser scene. Just found a potential purchase. It’s an 82. I’m still not familiar with what to look out for, originality or most importantly value. Mirrors, door handle and air filter handle are being put back on. Noticed the tail gate is not the usual stamped one, Guessing that's fabricated? Also it appears to have two fuel fillers for some reason. I understand this was not a by the book resto so I can't compare it to bring a trailer values but I'm having a hard time determining its value to decide if it's worth my time to import it. It spent its life in Lebanon so the body wouldn't have been completely rusted before the resto which is why I'm considering buying it.
Would really appreciate your opinion and help especially determining its value!
