Bought an old Land Cruiser

For the boy. An 84 4 speed FJ60. It'll be a beater. Needs some sorting. Good interior. 166K original miles, tight dry engine, good clutch. A bit of body rust but the frame etc. are not rusty. New aluminum 3 row radiator, water pump, hoses. Brand new Weber carb that the PO bought and just slapped on. Needs adjustment. Idles a bit low. All pollution stuff removed. One vac hose to the carb instead of a mare's tail nest of them. Passenger front fender and back door are a different color as they were replaced due to backing into a pole and getting clipped by another car.
Got it cheap. 1200. The F2 straight 6 is worth that much around here. Might put another 1500 into it including tires and the other sorting it needs.
He knows about the MPG. Doesn't commute. Pretty much only drives on weekends. Doesn't care, at least at this point.
