Greetings to all you fj lovers out there.  Another Irishman here to add to this wonderful club.  It's a credit to all concerned!  I have my 1988 fj1200 3cv now for just over 4 years and I just love the big brut.  They certainly don't make them like this anymore.  A couple of months age I decided to strip the old girl down and give her a complete makeover (not knowing of course the amount of work involved :dash2:)  Anyway she's still not back together.  A simple clean up has turned into a full on mod.  And a full mod costs money, so being of the meticulous nature and wanting the best for her it's being very slow.  Thanks to all your great posts I will succeed.

Shane.
