Hey everyone, I recently decided to pickup a project my father dropped a while ago and finish restoring our 1978 fj40. We've had this fj40 in the family for about 15 years or so. It used to run with no issues but had alot of rust. So he decided to have to body and interior restored however at some point he forgot to put it back together. ::Facepalm::
At this point the body is pretty much good to go minus paint and windows (I have all of them but they just need to get installed). From what he says he thinks it needs a new gas tank and a carb. rebuild/replacement.
Now I've done some research on gas tanks and it looks like I do want a metal one and not poly but im wondering if there is anyone around that has a poly tank that has good things to say about them.
Secondly, im having a hard time finding an OEM/stock carb. replacement for the 2F. Im sure they arent available from Toyota anymore but as there are alot of aftermarket parts manufactures for the FJ40, I figured maybe im over looking some options, please let me know if this a futile effort.
Here are some pics in case you were ready to say that it doesnt exist without pics
P.S. excuse the garage mess! Wanting to work on the FJ40 has promoted it all to get cleaned since taking the pics
