is this thing a lost cause? - i was thinking about looking at it tmrw. just because! (plus my mechanic friend, with a lift in his home garage, needs me for fixing his chimney... hey, my cruiser addiction is improving!

- would going from an 80 to a 40 like this be crazzyy. or am i asking the wrong crowd?

Not LOST, but getting there. Aqualu tub cures a lot.


As for going from an 80 to a 40....

A bit like going from a cadillac to buckboard wagon, except with more noise , leaks and bad smells.

Sorry, it's already gone! Dad was quick again. Mostly salvageable, good floor and frame. We'll see what we can do with it.

 

[crawlin cruiser]

Was it your dad that bought the 2 lvs??

 

[Nik82BJ42]

No but he did just by the rusty 77 45 that was up for a G a few weeks ago. Wish we had an lv!

 

[94L C8E]

ya - i figured one of you cruiser vets would be all over this: kinda had a feeling despite the surface rust - that the frame and floor were in good shape - nice to hear. all the best with the project!

That looks almost decent

That looks almost decent

Apparently decent enough for the guy to raise the price by 1k.

Thats pretty crazy. The engine in that truck reminds me of this car for sale in Victoria right now: http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/Toyota-Aristo-Lexus-GS-300-1992-Supra_24117119. Briefly I entertained using it as an engine donor for a Prado. Would make towing easier. 1jzgte and 2jzgte are my favorite gas inline sixes from Toyota; such incredible engines.

Edit.
On second look its an auto! That's an hj! Didn't know there was 85 hjs

Bunch of random parts, including a 3b manifold flange.

I wonder if this is a late BJ or an early HJ? The mirrors and auto trans make me think HJ. There is a gauge near the shifter that might be a boost gauge.
