I’m sure this is a repost!!

Need some help from 40 guys….I am going to look at a 69’ FJ40 in a few days. It has been sitting for about 3 years not running, close to stock. No hard top, new looking soft top. No tub rust just a couple little spots on hood louvers.

Its not advertised. I saw it parked in a driveway so I approached to homeowner. It was night and I did not inspect well. The guy I talked to was not owner and wanted it out of his driveway. The owner was in Navy and at sea. Just got a call and owner is ready to sell. I an going to inspect in a few days. I’ll take some pics.

Plan in doing a V8.

What should I look for when I inspect.
 
You should probably plan on changing to disk brakes also. Um I have a fiberglass tub but I have alot of rust on the connections between my rear bumper and the frame.
 
If you don't get it let me know about it.
 
Really hacked up wiring, and frame rust. Those two things will turn a nice rig into a pile of junk rather quick.
