Hi Metisse, how are you happy with the head rests? Read in one thread that people were a bit annoyed about the forward tilt. We had a VOLVO V70 when I was younger but too long to remember whether I liked the seats or not :) Cheers, Red

Hi Jon, Before i organized myself to go to see the one in Belgium it was gone. Then I went to see another in NL but that was really run down with loads of rust and knocked out windows. And than by accident I stumbeled upon the 74. And it took me two hours of walking around it and checking...

Hi Jon, I was checking this thread but did not realize there was already a second page until today, so sorry for the late reply! I already have somethin in mind! Put down a deposit for a HZJ74! :) Finishing the deal this SAT, so will post some pics later in here. The car is in good technical...

Hi Jon, I keep looking at the pic all the time. The cars are simply splendid! One question here, how did you make your wife love the car? I am getting some internal resistance from my girlfriend as she is the more reasonable one.. And as I am the passionate one and need my toys there is a point...

I will probably go see that one. Gents any idea on how difficult the buying process in Belgium is? Cheers, redmelon

thats what I thought - but if the front wing is rusted like that not sure how the rest looks - I really liked the one you sent as well..but the price is indeed a bit to high

I thought more like this with a bit of work? http://ww3.autoscout24.nl/classified/272813220?asrc=st|as

Hi Gents! Thanks for the quick replies! Really appreciate all the input. I am currently searching the market for the HZJ73. I really like the looks and it will still be probably more useable for me. The leafsprings are ok to me - had a an L200 Mitsubishi in the past for forest work at my dads...

Hi Jon! Thanks for the message! I have to say I am quite attracted to the BJ40 as a daily driver youngtimer. On the other hand I give you right with the fact that the J73 is much cheaper and will be probably more comfy. Also the offer below 5000Eur looks decent. If buying a J70 series in diesel...

Hi Firewout! I have to admit that i like more the looks of the shorter versions such as the bj40/42 or the j73. Is there nothing to be afraid of with the 13bt? I heard they might cause more issues than the 13b engine. I think the harder suspension would not bother and i usually would not do...

Thanks Tony! 2Ben: Thanks for the reply. I am a Czech currently in the Netherlands where there is quite a choice on LCs around. The LC will be moved to Czech Republic in the future though where it will be much more fun to drive! Due to my time constraints it would be a weekend car at first and...

Hello gents, I am longing for a decent 4x4 for some time now and started looking for an older LC with a diesel. Which type would you recommend in terms of reliability, repair cost, fun etc. I really love the looks of the bj40 but do not want to get lured. Hence the question - might an 70s...
