Thanks for the comments guys
Some info on the 40 [ "Kermit" ]
It was originally a 1979 Mustard Yellow BJ40 with a B diesel. I hate diesels, so I pulled the B donk and dropped in a 2F.
I bought the truck in Brisbane, (off the Aus 4WD Monthly forum) with the help of Andre - post above - and then had it imported into South Africa.
I then did a complete body off rebuild were "EVERYTHING" was overhauled or replaced.
I am presently rebuilding another ex Oz Cruiser - this time a 1983 FJ40 LX
Should be finished by mid year 2010

The LX is in 101 pieces at the moment
The bodypanels, roof and tub are at the bodyshop having all the rust cut out and fixed. Also replacing the roof rain gutter
It will painted the same colour as the ICON Cruisers in the US a MATT Dark Gun Metal Silver
Here is a sample of the fender
This is what the LX looked like when we unpacked the container

Re: 40
Yes, I got it Sydney, it was a bit of a basket case, but the condition was not that important to me as I intended doing a full body off restoration anyways,micka1 wrote:Any chance you got that lx from sydney australia ?
if so i was personally looking at the same car .. lol
Thanks , make sure you keep us updated with pics on it , looks sweet so far
Together with this we also imported another LX from Melbourne and another FJ40 from Sydney
You guys will soon lose all your 40's to exports to South Africa and USA
