Hi,

After almost 2 years of sitting in the garage I finely started the conversion from RHD to LHD on my Land Cruiser LJ71.

I use an old LJ70 as a donor. I´ll post pics and varius stuff during the prodject.
I also have some parts that I don´t need anymore.

Please let me know If you are looking for RHD parts 148000km in really good condition.

All the internal parts ecc .

I need a glove box door. Where are you located?

 

[chilli]

I have a pair!
I live in Gothenburg, the second-largest city in Sweden

 

[Postoy]

Ah, you are a bit if a distance away from me. I wonder what shipping would be to Vancouver Canada

 

[sadam_husain]

are you going to swap the firewall over from the donor LHD or try and modify the RHD one, there is a good thread on here somewhere from a couple of years back of a RHD to LHD firewall swap and conversion

 

[chilli]

Yes I used that thread for inspiration
No the donor was way to rusty. I´ll use the original firewall with new holes and weld in some new attachemnt points for the steering, heater, AC ecc.

- Shipping to Vancover may be expensive but I´ll check it upp.

Does someone have this plastic parts laying around but for the LHD?
It's a discontinued part that I need.

If I could offer some advice. Don't get rid of that heater core. Bloody expensive, and that is essentially
a free spare part right there. I've done the conversion thing, clean up parts you don't need for now, put them in a
box until you are done, then re-assess.

Do you want the complete "kit" parts like air duct, combination swith, evaporator, heater, vent ecc?

THX for the advice! Just trying to recover some denaros, buying parts from Japan is painfull for the wallet.

Glad to help, saving $ is important to me too. I just ordered and received in 5 days a bunch of hardware
from an online company I found. I have a good collection of stuff from over the years, and it's nice to
just go get the little things from out back without a lot of running around too. J

Hi Chilli
I am a BJ42 owner living in Turkey. If everything goes well, I will be living in Denmark and practise as a dentist in Denmark next year. Unfortunately, I have to sell my baby to have money to spend in Denmark for first unemployed year. So, here is the question. Where did you find this beautiful 70? Outside the Europe, am I right? Is it allowed to import this kind of vehicle easily? Is it expensive to pay for custom fee? Etc etc. I would talk to you so much because I will take my revenge and buy a 70 immediately when I start to Work as a dentist in Denmark. Thank you and success in your project!

Hi,

Danmak has 150% tax on cars so therfore it´s expensive with cars. I took mine frome japan to sweden but we dont have the same tax structure.
There is a bj45 for sale in danmark right now: Toyota, Land Cruiser, 3,4 D - dba.dk

Good luck with your transfer
