I have studied those pics many times the last two year. Not easy to find similar cars like this in Japanese web pages. Usually the pics are so small. The guy bought the car brand new in 2000 but haven't updated the web page since Jan 2002.
Good luck with the BJ70!
A friend of mine have a -77 BJ40 with 38000 km on the odometer. Looks brand new

okay, so the decision was to leave the 87 rag top stock and this decision was made much easier last night.
i purchased a 1991 red soft top 70. this one is also pretty nice but it has features that make it more acceptable to modify.
85,000 k (instead of 20,000 k)
PZ (instead of the 3B)
both had 5 speeds
this one has AC (which doesn't turn me on)
this one has the lift already
this one has the front and rear lockers (which i am told is very rare on a rag top early 70 series)
it is a rare factory red (which i am told there wasn't many of most were white or grey)
no winch (so i can use my custom bumper and winch)
so all in all this should be a better candidate for a modified unit...now all i need to do is get it over here. i might need to get a container, anyone want to split the cost?
cheers

RORO has been very difficult to secure for the last year. i was surprised when my other ragtop got space within 2 weeks. some have been lucky and had their vehicles shipped quickly but i know of importers that have been waiting many months to get their units shipped over.
container shipping is twice what RORO costs and the chance of damages is actually higher if the "stuffing " company is sloppy or the destuffing company is careless. i have heard and seen pics of some bad damages using containers. this makes me nervous when you have high end units coming over. if they are middle of the road or low end units then the risk is much more acceptable.
cheers
