Philly 76 fj40

[toms42]

Introducing philly a 76 coilovered fj40 that will be running a 12ht and 5sp with reduction transfer. Aiming to keep it ahem" semi road legal here down under, PO has done a shed load of hard work and it is all plated for 6 point cage and suspension and previously housed the same engine and tranny combo so easy days for me to drop my gear in drive it, break it and improve

Maybe it's just camera distortion but how bent to hell is the front tie rod? It certainly looks that way in the pic
