Just thought id get a start on my project
I have an 1980 hj45 which i have had for about 10 years but still love the girl and the stories we have together so wanting to rebuild the old girl .
My other cruiser is an 1983 FJ 45 I got of a mate its had a 2H transplant and seams to go great i drove it from gippsland to Bendigo over heated a little but only i hope its eithr because the radiator wasn't changed to suit the 2 H or it was over fueling but i have had that problem rectified .

IDEAS !! want to keep my old chassis, rear diff, tray which i made years ago to be a tipper, bullbar ( i know its a dozzer blade but look at it ) , of the 83 i want the 2H and cab because its newer and in great condition and the front diff being that its disk brake .

sittin aside is a 5 speed to go into it also and can abtain a 60 series power steering

Paint is going to be my original Baige

Good luck with the build.

ps: This should probably be in the members section.

Thanks Ray
My idea was to detail and photo the build in one place (one one site ) just that that seams easier, i know im going to need some kind of assistance along the way
and was thinking it could or would be of great assistance to any one that has a 45 ,
i'll have a play around and see what i come up with
Thanks again

Absolutely, good idea. But as this is a tech section (read the rules at the top of the toyota section), I would start a build up thread in the members section with progress reports and pics, then if you have any tech questions or need advice just start a thread in here. Generally you'll get advice on your members page anyway but if you don't, this is the best place for it.

Keen to see some pics when you figure it out. Does the 83 already have a 5 speed? If so I would keep that chassis, box and transfer and just swap the tray and rear diff over (unless there's something wrong with the later model chassis). 60 power steering is a very worthwhile conversion.
