This awesome little Fj started out as a rust bucket sitting in the bush for many years.
Our customer has a lot of sentimental memories about this cruiser, being his first vehicle and teaching his kids to drive in it.
We had the mammoth task of bringing it back to life. After stripping it down and repairing the body, we shortened an 80 series cruiser chassis and fitted body mounts and a host of other parts. We also fabricated engine mounts and a custom gearbox cross member, fitted a 1HZ turbo and 5 speed manual gearbox. The old fj brake master cylinder was binned and an 80 series booster and master were fitted.
On the electrical side. A complete modern wiring loom was fitted with upgraded tail lights charge points etc and a set of driving lights from our friends .
Thanks to for helping out with so many parts for the build.
We finished it all off with dark green tintable for a durable finish to last in the bush, and it looks awesome too.
Interior, rust repaired and ruberised, 80 series seats fitted and custom bucket seats in the back for the game viewers.
Lastly, front and rear custom bumpers were fitted with spare wheel swing arm.
At this stage we are not taking on any more re-builds as we have a couple of big builds going on. Keep an eye on the page for updates on those too.
