The beginning: The Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 - BJ40 - BJ42 project

My Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 from 1974





This is it. My Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 from 1974. These are the first pictures, taken with an 1MB camera on our Nokia mobile phone. 10-12-2005 I registered it in my name. 
The LandCruiser came first on the road on the 30th of June 1974 and was imported from Belgium to the Netherlands on 14-12-1978. 
It's color is Mustard Yellow. Originally it was equiped with the inline 6 cylinder 3.9 liter petrol engine . In the Netherlands it had its FJ40 engine factory replaced with the Toyota LandCruiser 3.4 liter 3B engine from the BJ42. Probably one of the best upgrades you could wish.  

These are the original pictures in the advertisement on Ebay:
