TOYOTA

1997

1998

I'm a proud owner of a 1969 Toyota Land cruiser. My husband, Tony and I started the process of restoring her August 1997. I purchased my cruiser in 1984 for 2,000.00 dollars from an add, out of the St. Augustine Record; it's a local News Paper here. The first thing we did was remove the engine, then the seats the gas tank all the lights and accessories. We had labled parts all over the place. We sand blasted to get off all the old paint and rust. A lot of hand sanding. Tony did all the welding and I did all the bondo that needed to be done. More sanding... then we spray painted. First the primmer then two coats of paint.
The replacement parts we order for the engine, doors and roof were hard to come by. Some of the parts came as far away as California. We got her back on the road again, March 1998 on St. Patrick's Day. And looking like new!.
