I figured I'd best start a build thread for a pair 78 fj40s. The blue one is my cousin's and it just so happens to be the very first landcruiser i had any experience with. The other is a 78 Frankenstein build.
I'll start off with the blue 78. My cousin picked this one up when he was 14, which was about 1990 or 1991. It had bolts for fuses but the body was solid other than the rear bed which he replaced with diamond plate. He had sandblasted the undercarriage and undercoated it too, which has kept it in surprisingly good condition.
The Frankenstein machine is titled as a 78, the 3/4 tub is an aqualu. The front fenders are also going to be aluminum. I haven't gotten too far into it quite yet but i am wanting to make a toy out of it.
I started the bodywork on the blue one and that's about as far as I've gotten.
