Is this really a project you are working on?

Looks good for what it is. Im jealouse, I would love to restore an old fj But I just dont have the time or the money. I wish you the best of luck, Have fun. P.s. When it's done it will be a great one of a kind truck for sure.

hey,

it was just a phone interview, and they're expecting to get back to people in the next week or so. I'm not sure I could do so much travel though...

Ive restored a few cars / bikes.
(Some I wish I never started)
Whats the plan ? Going all original / stock ?

Nice!

Bostonian, Those were built 21 miles from my home in England, I took the factory tour a few years back, just before Ford got in there.

Did you find it here or import? I never quite liked sitting on the tank! Land Rover has pedigree same as Toyota. Just look at any expedition type treks and they all seem to be Toyotas and Defenders/Series 3's, really dont see that many disco's of road back home though.

all original...100%. I'm not going to touch anything except the brakes, frame, bulkhead (firewall).......seals, etc. I'm very happy w/ the way it is pretty much exactly the same as it was the day it was sold.........can't find that much in rovers anymore

Boston was the beer bottle OEM? Looks like you've got some work to do there my friend. Looks like a fun project though. I'm a contractor and know how old things can be a can of worms but hell my FJ's new and I've already started going through that whole rig!
