Hi Guys, I've been browsing google/yahoo looking for info and bits and bobs and I discovered your site via other LJ80 searches, I must admit your builds are stunning, absolutely on a different planet from my little girl  Heres a few pics of my little LJ80 being restored........                This is as far as I have got, obviously changed the colour to Westminster Blue (old Jag colour), new 16" boots, need to change the seats, need new exhaust, new blue mohair hood, already changed the shocks to ProComp es1000...........etc etc. Hope you like it guys, theres still sooooooo much to do and tracking down the parts is brain damage  I'll keep you posted  Kind regards Tony |

Hi Guys, Thank you for the kind words  She has an F10A engine out of a SJ410 I believe? Looks like the front brakes have been changed to discs, yet again SJ I believe? Managed to pick up a 5 speed Santana box (so i'm told) from fleebay, that will be well down the line though if I fit it at all. Still trying to locate the indicators lenses that mount on the wings, all the window runners, window rubbers and the rubbers that go around the doors that seal the doors to the soft top! She a great little truck, I took her up to London before she was sprayed and the look on peoples faces was a treat..............i pulled up at a set of lights right beside a Ferrari near Shaftesbury Ave, as people were crossing the road everyone was looking at the little LJ with my Labradoodle hanging out the back and ignoring Ferrari boy I'm going to put these seats in: www.carrelli.co.uk/Leather_Sports_Seats.htmlGoing to get a new hood from Monsoon hoods, they quoted roughly £800-£1000 to build it in situ out of blue mohair, sound about right you think? It'll need a bit of wiring, new carpets and I was considering checker plating out the back maybe? Anyway, i'll keep you informed as i go! Kind regards Tony |

Tony - nice looking little truck, reminds me of one I had a couple of years ago with very similar spec. I also wanted to put in a 5 speed SJ tranny but was told by the guru that the chassis rails were too narrow to accommodate it. If you do give her a new soft top I would be interested in your current one as the grey one on my LJ is begining to look a little tired. Enjoy - let hope we get some top down weather soon.
