Toyota Land Cruiser LJ70 2.4 TD Restomod Slideshow , DIY Classic 4x4 Land Cruiser Restoration 

Thanks 🙏 I will hopefully do it again in the future.

Very cool 😎 I would love to do a trip like that, I'm tempted to get another old 4x4 not sure what to go for, maybe another LC or a SWB Y61 Nissan Patrol but they are very hard to find in England for a reasonable price.

I haven’t seen that yet but they are cool 😎

Hi thanks 🙏 it was a beauty I sold it soon after restoration so it’s no longer mine as it wasn’t being used very often, everyone says they are slow but I didn’t mind it , I think it’s about right for the type of car 👍. Restorations are very expensive as they are time consuming so it’s good to try and learn how to fix and restore.

@@_jenks_ how much did you sell it for if you don't mind me asking

Hi I sold it in 2017(ish) on a no reserve auction via eBay it sold for £8800 if I remember correctly which is a bit lower than I thought it would go for comparing it to the price of others in the same condition but I was happy and so was the new owner 👍

Oh nice I think the look good in white and your engine is a good swap👌🏻 the rear bumper on mine is what came with the car 👍

Thanks 🙏 the wheels are 15" x 10" Tuff Torque Modular Steel Black ET-32 (plus I had a set of spacers installed I think they were 20mm all round) The tyres are 33/12.50/15 Nankang N-889 Mud Terrain 108Q I bought them brand new for £805 for a set of 5 that’s for wheels and tyres! I thought that was great value they were from www.4x4tyres.co.uk. ideally the car would have been lifted as the rear of the front wheel sometimes touched the body of the car at the rear of the front wheel well 👍

Thank you , some parts were easy to find such as the brake calipers, wheels, rear wings but the front wings were not available so I bought some similar wings from eBay , new but no longer in production , and made them work. A few people have asked about the original plastic wheel arch extensions so they must be hard to find , mine were damaged and went in the bin !

@_Jenks_ thank you very much for your reply. I'm still looking but you are correct they are not easy to find

Hello😊 you didnt get any answers from him, but i am asking you now:) did you find a place to buy spareparts. I have just started with my car… 1984 jl 70 and even Toyota doesnt have the parts i need… Have a nice day

Hi 👋 the panels were all brand new I can’t remember where I bought the rear panels they may have been from Toyota , the front panels were hard to find, luckily I found a pair for sale on eBay, after some time searching we settled for front panels from a slightly different model where the wings extend out further from the car. To make the new panels fit we cut off the top section of the front panels and welded the new bottom section to the existing top section keeping as close to the original shape as possible, the end result is almost perfect (+/- 1mm) to the original LJ70 shape, making it fit took some patience as we needed to cut the length of each front panel. You can see the cut at 05:16 and the weld at 06:01 this weld would have been avoided if we found the correct panels for this model , the front panels normally bolt on if I remember correctly. 👍

@@_jenks_ ohh thank you sir
