Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 RHD

This is a great starting point for someone who wants a diesel land cruiser project. It has rust in the typical places, ll repairable. I have photos of all the rust places that I can find and will email to anyone interested. There is rust in the following places - drivers and passengers foot-well several holes about the size of a thumb nail. The sills have patches where the paint and bog (bondo) have come away but body metal is good just a little dented. The drivers door has a badly corroded corner, he the roof has surface rust and a few holes from aerials that need repairing, he drives side vent flap has a rust hole. The front fenders are a little rough, he hood is rusty where the water collects, he front grill surround has several rust holes and may require a new panel. The chassis is good, he bull bar has been welded to it so that will need to be ground off if you are a purist. The engine starts easily as the glow system works and EDIC motor does not work correctly when the oil pressure sender is connected, he whole electrical system needs going over (bad earths, elays from spotlights etc), he fan motor has a burnt resistor, he headlight plugs look a little burnt. The engine does smoke a bit of diesel and oil at high load, t may have worn rings but there is no noticeable blow by, t spent the last few years in a small farm just putting around so the bore may be glazed and injectors dirty and or valve stem seals. There is 1 missing stud on the exhaust manifold, t is probably broken and the idle stop on the throttle valve is broken. The interior is rough the drivers seat is not original, he floor mat is rubbish, he head lining is missing, he door trims are ripped, here is an partially installed A/C system, t has an evaporator in place of the air intake to the hearer box, here is no compressor or condenser installed. Also it is a right hand drive located in Melbourne Australia. The cost of shipping from Melbourne to LA was around $2500 US last time I checked. I am able to organise shipping from my end for no extra charge if needed. Contact me for more information, will take pics of any area of concern and email them so there are no surprises.
