Qatar imported FZJ80 (1 Viewer)

Joining 80-series addicts. I acquired this foreign beauty or what left and started working on it.
She isn't in the best shape but rust is something she don't know much about.
It is pre-facelift 1993 1FZ-FE in VX-R trim with some mixed parts on.
Car went through some minor front collision which wasn't fixed very nicely.
I will update this thread along. I will be trying to return it to its former glory.

If I will find it hard to find some parts I will try to make them by myself.
I hope it will help not only me but many other fellow enthusiasts

The vehicle seems to be in very good shape based on the picture.
Poland is really big market for second hand 80-s so you can try there also.

Exterior (except front) and undercariage are in good shape.
Interior is quite used. Lots of parts are worn out , missing or broken.
I already ordered some parts from Poland

Interesting. I thought those wheels only came on the LX 450. Possibly not the originals?

Yes they are LX450, for sure not original for this rig. Even grill is from later model , this year should have old Toyota sign.
