Mine is very rusty, mainly doors, front fenders and rear quarters, chassis is solid though
It was nearly immaculate when I bought it 7yrs ago but salty winters have made it deteriorate very quickly
The 1UZ V8 is in my LS400, an amazingly refined engine, the swap into a Surf (JDM 4Runner) has been done many times here in the UK, well documented and not a difficult or expensive conversion
I often think about doing this swap but if I do it would be along with making the interior more luxurious
Have a constant battle going on in my head, restore to original as there are very few UK spec. survivors or restore to luxury overland/explorer spec.
