Wanted - Fj6x - 1982-88

Hi,
So I am finally deciding that the rust issue on my BJ60 might not be worth dealing with. Instead I have the crazy idea of doing a diesel swap to a much less rusty FJ.
-I don't care if it has any mods ( the less the better as I can build what I want).
-I don't want rust (or as little of it as possible) this includes vehicles that have been worked on. if I wanted to have rust magically pop back in a couple of years I'd do mine.
-If it has a drive train but runs like s*** - as long as it's drivable (and stops) enough to make it up here that's good enough.
-if it does not have an engine then I will be limited by distance
(I'm in Vancouver area, B.C., Canada)
-Don't care what condition the interior is in. If it drives, as long as it has a driver's seat and belts that's ok.
- it does not need to have a super glossy show room finish paint job
-preferably something that's spent it's life in the dryer and less salty States.
-I am not really rich (if I was I'd get a JDM) and are working with a budget. Of course I would like to spend as little as possible but if I find something really nice I will dig deeper to get it.

If you see or have anything that comes close to this please PM or e-mail me.

mine's for sale...but it's got minor rust in the fenders....oh, yeah, and that smashed in rear quarter panel

Thanks for the offer, we'll see what happens.
Th body does not have to perfect, I do have some spare rust free parts like doors and a hood and I think I can find a front fender or two, the main concern for me is the main body shell, back doors, roof, and frame to be in good condition. If it has a couple of dents, that I can work with.

Maybe I'll get lucky and win that cruiser.

What is your price range? I'm thinking about sell my 1986 FJ60.

I've been out of town and have not had a chance to check this lately - sorry,
I am trying to stay close to the $1000-$2000 range (no insults intended here). There is still a lot of work I will have to put into it and regrettably I don't have a huge budget. On the plus side, it is not necessary for it to run, have doors, fenders and hood (I have those parts in good condition). The main thing I am looking for is frame and main body with the back gates in rust free condition. If I am capable of driving it home for that amount of money - even better!

What?! no one wants to pawn off a rust free truck for little money....what's wrong with you people
