Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I bought an fj40 and it has got a fair bit of rust in it. The guy used it on the beach a fair bit.





I know that there is a fair bit of rust and im wondering if is better to repair it or sell it and by one without rust. How much would it cost to have it repaired? Would it be easy to do by myself?
Also the wiring is pretty ****ty to. The guy swapped the dash and carby with a good fj40 that he ended up selling for like 5000.

CheersR

What's the chassis like?

Worth what ?

Depends on what you paid for it and what you intend to do with it ?

havent had a good look at the chassis yet. Looks ok though. I want to get it roadworthy lol. I paid 500 for it.

is that a depth sounder

damn!

I would just patch it up and run it into the ground, The are all rusty nowadays

doesnt look to far gone,if you have your heart set on building a 40 why not use what u have already,if chassis and running gear is good u can always re shell it,or do serious body work

that does not look to bad.

most definatly a fixxer upper!

its not too bad

not too much work

if you try and get another maybe it will e full of bog
at least u know what you have with this one

can you do the repairs yourself or will you be getting someone to do them for you?

well i dont have room to work on is so its on ebay.

While I don't mean offence, I think your ad is not really being that up front about the rust issue. "Has some rust" is probably understating it don't you think? Perhaps you could have included photos as above (particularly the floor pan and speedo) to give a buyer a better idea?

Anyway, good luck with the sale, already seems to be making a profit for you.
