'77 Fj40

[makaveli51499]

So I'm looking at a '77 FJ40, but it's a bit of a body man's nightmare. Anybody have any ideas on the best way to approach what looks like a total body restoration? Also anyone know of anywhere I might be able to get the panels, etc that I need. I know it's pretty vague but I will have a better idea what I need soon.

Any help is appraciated. Thanks.

Don't waste your time. You'll spend more on a total restoration than you will on a better FJ40 to begin with. Plan on around $5-8k for a good starter truck. Anything with lots of rust is not worth it because you won't ever get your money back.

I would cruise over here and look around.
