Feeler about giving up on my FJ55 Project….
I don’t how to write this, but I’m just burned out on my ’55. Too little time to and having small children is making me think I’ll never finish this. What it is:
1970 FJ55, some drivers floor and fender rust but BobM could supply the few necessary panels you’d need. Better than most I’ve seen personally. Stock axles, front disc brake conversion. Drivetrain consists of a rebuilt 1988 GM 350, TH350, NP203-10 spline t-case doubler. 4runner brake booster mated to GM master. Suspension is 79-85 4” lift Toyota pickup rear springs installed SUA in the front, and stock rears with add-a-leafs and shackles (not installed). Front has been trimmed for 37’s (I’m keeping my tires though). No steering box yet. Rear window mechanism is deleted and I started to fabricate a lift hatch.
Body has been stripped of most wiring, was going to do a basic buggy-style minimalist panel with a few gauges and warning lights. Lots of engine/trans/shifter/etc parts included (it really needs more time than $$ to finish)…Unfortunately for the resto crowd, I never had most of the original dash layout, trim, or emblems.
I know how much $ I need to feel good about parting with it, but from the below pics….how much should I be asking and is anyone here on IH8MUD interested? If I could get a decent price for it I’m gonna buy another Samurai that’s already built and ready to go.
What $$$ could I expect? Maybe SHMac could help me out...
