Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hows it going fellas, I'm new here ! looks like a great forum to be apart of with heeps of good info.

I had a little 70s Diahatsu ute (simular to a early model suzuki) which was abit of a beast, it died when the starter motor engaged while driving on the beach, got bogged and then fried the starter completely and I gave up.

So now I own this little beast I got for $800. 1978 model FJ40 shorty, has a 302 ford v8 and pretty much stock other then that but hopefully not for long . I have a set of Rancho 9000x shocks coming for it as well as rockcrawler springs, new bushes, shackles, steering damper etc on tuesday all to suite a 2" lift.

As you can see the whole car is in the back of it pretty much haha but its all complete with 0 rust, not even one spot, most of it is in primer and all bolts/hinges/latches etc are in tins.

Will start painting it today.

Gday DannyW, Welcome to the forum. It is a very helpfull and informative forum. Nice 40 looks like a great project. You will have to keep everyone posted with progress picks.
By the way you have posted this in the wrong section. It should have been posted in the members section.
Cheers.
Dave.
