Spent 2 years restoring this one in Yemen
Body work was A1 by the time the work was done, converted it to 5sp, power steering and disk brakes. Engine reconditioned
All that needed doing was the engine plumbed in, the wiring connected, windows and seats fitting
Alot of the basic parts are still availible new there, also a plentiful supply a used parts. Fancy bits were brought in from the US or Oz by rotators
Due to export restrictions car is still in Yem' unloved for 18 months now - still hope to resolve these issues and get it to the UK one day
Total cost incl initial purchase worked out at around $12k which at the time at £7k ish

Heres a mates FJ, in Oz - I had the Surf behind. Worst decision I made on that trip was choosing to buy the Surf over an FJ!
