Hi from Dublin, Ireland.

[LandCruisAer]

Name: Barry
Model: 1981 BJ40 bought new by my father Inlaw. One owner.
Mods: None until this year. Complete Resto carried out 2017. This year decided to take the plunge and install electric power steering and rear disc brakes.
Plans: Roof rack, period correct stereo and speakers.

Sounds great Barry. I’m guessing it already had front disc brakes.
Perhaps a turbo one day?

Hi Barry and welcome....

One owner! Wow!
With your '81 BJ having front discs already, it sounds like it is a 'European' spec model so will have the extra number in the VIN - '81 was a 9 and the last year they made this specification. If memory serves Mr T only made 4997 'European' spec BJs.

Love to see some photos, when you can.

Regards,

Rodger

How do you find the electric PS kit? I found one advertised and a friend mentioned such a thing was available, I’d never come across it.
