1984 Toyota FJ60

#1
I just cant keep things around. i sold off the M38a1 that i had and i had an open space in the Stewart car lot
Today i found a good deal on a 1984 Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser.
The guy was moving and he did not want to take it with him this time.
It has sat for a few years. he hit a deer and left it at a storage lot while he collected the parts to fix it.
It doesnt run yet, but it does turn over. The dash is apart from the prvious owner trying to repair the dah pad and the wipers.

It needs some TLC and has rust but not rotted out like most are.
It was filthy from sitting in the lot, i got it cleaned up pretty good this evening.




cleaned up

pushed the Cruiser into the shop before the rain. I wanted to get it running
Rinsed out the gas tank
Picked up a battery
Connected it and then turned the key.
Engine cranked over no problem.

That is good, but i was not getting fuel, but i had spark

I threw on an electric fuel pump to prime the mechanical pump and carb

i had fuel to the filter so i gave it a try again. No fire

Try again one last time after i tightened the battery cable

It started and purred. Idled smooth and quiet

I couldnt drive it today. The clutch pedal went in and there was zero resistance from the clutch MC.
A visit to Rockauto i picked up the MC, slave and hose. Just replace them all at once. Hopfully by the end of the week the Cruiser will be on the road
