Hi all,
So I'm the lucky(?) new owner of a 72 FJ40. Wanted to introduce myself, post a few pics and see what everyone thinks.
I got it for $1500. I'm looking to address major mechanicals/cosmetics and turn it into a weekend driver. It runs, albeit roughly. I know the PO, and he is positive it's a problem with the Webber. Stock carb is included but he thinks theres a vacuum leak somewhere. 4 wheel drive works, brand new wiring harness. Interior is trashed but I'm going to throw an area rug down and rhino line the floors anyway.
Frame looks pretty solid to me, but pics make it look worse than it is. Body is rough. Visible welds around back panels.
Overall, how'd I do?
Chris
