SY number plate means it's from Aberdeenshire. I think it will be rotten underneath. Rear arches leading down to the sill has been touched up and that's just the exterior of that car. In below will be another story. They have weak suspension mounting points on the back axle as it is, they don't...

Padding isn't inherently the problem. Look at Australian Land Cruisers: they have no issues with rusty sumps and they have foam padding. Instead, the problem is the humidity of the UK and that the Council salts the roads during winter which compounds the problem. Also, going by the few 80's and...

cringeworthy description. everything about this landcruiser is either "extremely" or "rare" or both.

surely someone £10k budget could facilitate importing a nigh-on rust-free 60 from australia?

lets see some pics frank :)

upload them to a "cloud" i.e googledrive or a similar service. anyway, i enjoyed viewing your scenic photos. thanks!

this is why i prefer living in the sticks.

i clicked on it by accident and was pleased to discover a great variety of photos/projects/repairs/improvements of your cruisers. only slight problem . . i wish the photos were bigger! but its well worth a look. thanks!

p.s .... make it "hand tight" also!!

i adjust my interpretation of rust in accordance with the price of the vehicle im viewing. a £1500 hilux - expect rust and a lot of it. £15000 for a 60 - i dont want to see any at all, frankly.

looking for a set of oem 100 series steel rims but im guessing they'll be like hens teeth here .. so what other steel wheels would fit the unique (annoying) 100 series hubs? thanks

smart, but i wonder what it is like underneath 'cause it's plenty rusty under the bonnet.

very smart indeed. that looks like the ironman protector bullbar. I was gonna go for the deluxe commercial bullbar. i'm still in two minds over the tubular chrome bars. either way, its really cool.

thanks. good looking 100 you got there.

TOTALLY off topic, but can i get a bigger picture of your 100? im about to buy an ironman bumper and was wondering what it would look like on my 100. its silver and 2003MY too. thanks!

i believe he had this advertised on facebook for around £6500 if i recall. looks as though it will probably top that now.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-LANDCRUISER-/112231530622?hash=item1a2185407e:g:6C8AAOSwJ7RYSpZc may not be easy to find on ebay as they're listed under workshop manuals category! ideal for spares? or projects.

in reply to op's corncerns: in my eyes that is very catchable. get in there with a wirebrush and get that surface rust down to bare metal then rust treat it, red primer and some por15

wow, that's surprising. even my scottish 100 is fresher underneath than that and its 03 with 200k on it. looks fantastic after the underseal!

ireland maybe? i thought r-reg 1997's had amazon badges and the chrome roof rack?

also, this is way way out there, but when you compare this vehicle--the condition its in, the aftemarket parts it has and improvements it has had, to an old 110 Defender and the prices they now command because "they're not making them anymore(thank god)" well. . .

let's be honest this is a bit of a bargain. if this was a 80, itd be £20k. nene overland have a 80 GS. . .according to the mot history, its rusty underneath whereas this looks good underneath, from what we can see.

Were the 1HZ affected?

Nice that.

Indeed they WERE. At least, when they bought an 80 of my friend that was what they went buy. put a £7k mark up on that particular Land Cruiser.

i'm definitely interested in one... wonder if he can arrange a courier... how much did you pay, if you dont mind my asking.

1997 80 series 4.2 24v £2000 buy it now unless it was a "deposit" scam? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1997-TOYOTA-LANDCRUISER-AMAZON-VX-SILVER-4-2td-/361654742778?hash=item54344d6efa:i:361654742778

Do you reckon 80s still get exported?

I've been there. Takes forever to get there, with the twisty roads and such. Also, I've seen Cruisers up there and they've been excellent underneath because the diligent people who buy expensive vehicles up there actually look after them by washing them frequently underneath during the salt...

Some photos: it seems to have really uprated headlights... xenon or HID maybe. It's currently got front bumper, both front wings, rear bumper and all body trim/cladding off. I'm greasing everything to make it last as long as possible.

I wish! It's going to be used for towing...

anyone done this? i could with getting the towball lower as the rear suspension sits quite high. something like this: the current towbar is a standard witter or similar, with three heights but the lowest high doesnt go low enough for my liking. thoughts? anyone got one of these on?

isnt the 1hd-ft and 1hd-fte much more unlikely to suffer from BEB failure than the 1hd-t?

Nope, it has had AHC deleted, heavy duty springs and air bag kit fitted, which can be filled with air via a button in the centre console.

you never know! it needs a couple small jobs doing, i.e temp guage, transmission clunk from D to R (and vice versa) when selectring them from stationary, and a small leak from transmission output to front drive shaft.

will get more!

So I bought the 2003 one I viewed. 190k but when you put the foot down, it throws you into the seat unlike the earlier 100's I tried. I'm not a power hungry freak looking for a clapped out cruiser to race people at stop lights. It just felt comparatively slower off the mark than my old 80...
