New guy here. Name is Mike and I live in Clayton. I purchased a 93 Land Cruiser a couple weeks ago. It is a real basket case, unloved truck that was listed on Raleigh Craigslist a couple weeks ago (green and gold). Interior is trashed, birfs need rebuild, suspension is original (228k), has some hack wiring, oil leaks and the paint is rough (there's more but that's all I can think of right now). Someone along the way had a large supply of wood screws that they liked to use to hold various things together. It is a 93 with a 97 motor in it with a reportedly 130k on the motor, but there is no documentation on when/why the new engine was put it.
Yes. I'm crazy, but I bought it to try and bring it back to life myself, as much as I can afford to. I'm thinking long term build. I have a fair amount of mechanical ability and decent tools. It's headed to a paint shop for a minor refresh next week. I had heard about this site and am going to need all the wisdom I can get as I begin this build.
I look forward to being part of the TLC community.
