Hi,
I'm a 'newbie' to this site and never owned a Land Cruiser ...However, I've been on the look-out for one ...and think I've found one which I may well be picking-up.
Searching the web for parts and advice about conversions though, I'm finding almost *NOTHING* in the UK!!!...
Can anybody give me some pointers for 40-series (especially BJ45) parts suppliers in the UK or near the UK? I'm also looking to do a 'semi-conversion' (i.e.: add a pop-up, roof rack, solar panel and limited interior custom fitting-out), so I would be very interested to know about anybody in the UK (or nearby!) who can help me with this (i.e. who can either take the job on or provide guidance for a DIY job)...
I hope to join you all soon with my own 40 series!
A bit about me: Most of my experience has been with driving Land Rovers and 60 and 80 series Land Cruisers (which I much prefer to Land Rovers!) in the Sahara desert. The BJ45 I hope to acquire will be destined for spending a lot of time in the Med and North Africa / Sahara as a logistics/support vehicle on research projects and tours in which I'm involved in that part of the world. Otherwise - vehicle wise - I spend some time giving TLC to my (very needy!!) show winning 1960 austin healey sprite mark 1. I live in Edinburgh, but will travel anywhere!...
Many Thanks,
Farès (aka. 'Redeka')
