Well I'm usually the guy who figures out he wants a certain classic 5 years after they become popular and decent examples become expensive and the rest are a ton of work. I decided I wanted a 60 bad enough to take on a pretty big project. I doubt it's the most rusty but it's definitely going to teach me a lot about body work and everything else. I'm hoping to learn a ton from this forum and honestly reading through ih8mud is what convinced me to actually take the leap. I will add more pictures as I start working on it. The rust is pretty much in a bunch of places. It's going to need floor work from leaks. Lots of what I'm hoping is mostly surface rust on the roof, rain gutter, just above the windshield. The body is actually very straight with a few small dents in the roof that I think will push out after dropping the head liner. I'm hoping to get my 11 and 9 year old sons interested in cars by involving them in the work and decisions along the way. I was told the motor has no compression in 3 and 4 so I'm currently assuming a blown head gasket after a little preliminary research but I plan to adjust the values and do some diagnoses myself.
So the specs.
1981 Toyota Land Cruiser (FJ60)
Cream(not sure of the real name) with brown interior.
I didn't bother checking the miles yet.
Mostly complete but pretty torn down so until I go through everything I won't know.
