Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 - BJ40 - BJ42 - How Car Restoration Works

For those of us whose dream cars come from yesterday, we can't just walk into a car dealership and buy one. Buying a used car that's four decades old can present a whole lot of mechanical problems. Cars aren't built to last forever, but restoration can breathe new life into an older vehicle and make it look and run like new. Restoring that old clunker in your backyard; now's a great time to give it a shot. In this Blog, we'll talk about what it takes to transform a rusty wreck inside and out.

Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 - BJ40 - BJ42 - The first day out

Pics of the first day (evening) out of the work shop for a quick test drive to see if everythings works, if it accelerates and stops. The next day the LandCruiser should get it's new MOT; the annual test of vehicle safety. For oldtimers it's once every two years.

The LandCruiser pased ! Only remark was the speedometer not working, but that was not a MOT fail.
A quick look learned the cable fall out of the dash cluster, so an easy fix. Also the breaking function was tested and it passed.
