Has done just over 100k miles. The last owner bought it when it was a very low miles original car and drove it for about 10 years before storing it.
It's had some minor rust repair at the front of the subframe and the bottom of the A pillar.
No rust in guards, doors, floors etc.
The original owner pulled up all the flooring and painted under it.
Mats are a little damaged though. Roll Eyes
I'm redoing the brakes at the moment. Tongue

I will probably end up selling it

The piece of wood was a waste of time in the end, it turned out the brakes were so stuck that the car barely moved with pushing.
The handbrake was completely put together wrong with brackets bent, modified, cut and extended.
I replaced the entire rear cable section and all the retaining brackets including the ones attached to the shoes. The weird mods had even pulled the shoes at an angle so all the rear shoes were also replaced as well.
The usual sleeving of wheel cylinders and new hoses and master cylinder was also done.
I will post a photo of the battery tray..... That was interesting Tongue

Here's the battery tray. 2 trays welded together to hold the battery plus a container of petrol, water and oil.
It uses all the original bolts only and was very unique

I did end up selling it to a really nice guy. He's had FJ's up till now and wanted an FC.
So I have moved it along to new owner.
