I just can't win...

There is a 92 scoop on ebay right now I think....that seems to be the worst and will be the most expensive.  The rest of the bits are up there as well. 

The timing ("generator") cover can be fairly hard to find.  I would think for less that $500 in used parts (not counting an professional painting) you will
be back on the road.

Other than the wrecked parts  it looks like a really nice.

Good luck.

Oh...I see upper cowling on your list....that might take a while to find a used one.   Hopefully it can be repaired if it is not too bad.

If you replace your plastic, please don't toss out your old stuff. It can be fixed to live again. I made the mistake of tossing my old plastic... Then later I learned that ABS can be welded and look like new again...

Can you expand on the welding part?.My belly cowl has a piece broken off that I still have.  Would be good to know how to join it back on.

Yeah, I'd prefer to repair what I have over buying replacement pieces, but I'll happily entertain an enticing offer. Spare parts are the bomb. I'm no plastic magician, but I'm sure I'll get by with a little help from my friends. I have a good many people here in the area willing to help out in their spare time.

That is a good question, and yes I can... All ABS plastic can be welded and mended. Our FJs are covered in ABS plastic...

A bit long but it covers the basics....

Definitely get some SeaFoam or Star-Tron in your gas and through your carbs.
I use Star-Tron in my FJ, and Sta-Bil in my other bikes with every fill up.
Hang in there,

I know that I have a spare shifter bolt and shifter assembly, I may have a left foot peg. My spare foot peg bracket won't work for your year.

When I leave Kansas Saturday for South Carolina, I will bring the items with me. If you would like thin, we can meet up and they are yours at no cost.

Mechanically it is not too bad.. Looks like a few parts for the shifter and foot peg and you are rolling again.

Ins. co. is always quick to total an FJ . Just the cosmetics will do it in.

Good choice on keeping the bike , you will not regret it. Sounds like some of the Guys have parts for you already.

This is a great group of people, Just wait till you meet some at an FJ Rally and put a face to the posts.

Accidents suck. Glad you're ok. It hurts more when it's a new bike. However, at least your not this guy:

My thoughts exactly. I figure the cosmetics will come with time, but at least she'll be operable with a little effort. You ain't kidding about the great people here, either. You guys are awesome. Just a post or two on a forum I just joined, and everyone's ready to help me get my bike back on the road. Glad I found this place before I even bought the bike; it was what convinced me this bike would be a blast. I kinda want to change the name of the thread now. "Road to victory" or something like that is better suited to the way things are shaping up now. Here I was thinking to crack that bottle of Jack to help me feel better and get some sleep Monday night; at this point I think it's better saved for celebrating my bike's recovery.
