Hey guess,
Brand new to the community, but happy to be apart of it.
Looking for a shop to get a few things fixed up and a good inspection done on my LJ78 if you guys have any shops in the Victoria area that would be great
I was referred to marigold services by previous owner but it looks like they no longer deal with JDM vehicles.

Unless you're wealthy, you'll go broke paying people to fix it. Try to learn how to do the wrenching yourself. Everything you'll need to do has been done and discussed in the 70 series and diesel sections of this forum search/read/search/read. Manuals are all there. Part number, pictures, etc.

Rear brakes are pretty easy and parts shared with north america toyotas.. Injection pump is $50 in parts to reseal yourself. But about 15 hours in labor for DIY.

Good luck.

I haven’t looked at your rig… but my general advice would be to pull off each wheel, inspect the brakes & bearings, and fix the leaky rusting bits. If in doubt replace brake lines and parts.

Fix the leaking parts under the hood, leaking lines, and any wiring issues.
