The day has finally come, we start work on the HZJ75 Toyota LandCruiser. It's from the year 1995. Picked her up on Facebook marketplace and the plan is to remove all the rust, fix the dints, respray (potenial colour change) and then make it the best touring rig out there! Its going to be an amazing adventure, so stick around and see how we transform this car into an epic rig!

Good to see more and more landcruisers being restored and rebuilt, good investment

[@JRCadventures]

[@masonforster4617]

[@JRCadventures]

Thanks heaps for watching. Heaps more videos to come!

[@felixbennett2440]

Wow! Love your work. Can’t wait to see it out on the tracks.

[@JRCadventures]

Thanks Felix! Appreciate it. Yeah same, hopefully not too long!

[@erfanahmed9211]

Looks very nice 🥰❤️

[@JRCadventures]

Yeiwww! Thanks heaps.

I thought this 75 looked fine until I saw the rust. Good project though.

[@JRCadventures]

Yeah mate, it was a killer. Got it at a good price thanks to that rust. Sure looks a lot different now!

[@aciawin9861]

Hey mate, Been loving these 75 series videos, similar endeavours taking place with my father and I currently as well! Was just wondering if you had much frame rust??? I’ve not found much at all on the body, bit of surface and paint, except the floor panels. Plenty of work to be done on the frame in our case. Subbed 👍🏽 Keep up the amazing work bro!

[@JRCadventures]

Hey - thanks heaps. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Theres heaps more 75 series videos to come!
Our frame had heaps of rust so we ended up getting a new one from Toyota. We repaired the widow frame and the roof. Repairing rust takes so long, but well worth it. Keen to see yours!

[@vamoose5986]

That rusty bullbar bolt looks like a sacrificial anode 😅

[@JRCadventures]

🤣 haha so true. Good thing its no longer there! Had to get a new one!

[@scotley_]

Hey, where are you getting this work done at?

[@JRCadventures]

Hey Mate! Doing it ourselves at dads workshop. Brisbane based. 😊😊 thanks for watching

@@JRCadventures I’m not crazy , but I noticed the motorbikes in the shot removing the bonnet. I’m guessing you’re in Moorooka?

[@JRCadventures]

@@LVUFC - Good eyes mate! Small world aye

[@sappo6342]

How have you got that mig set up? .6 or .8 wire and what volts and wire speed. Welding metal this thin is annoying haha

[@JRCadventures]

Its Auto! hahaha

[@_frankie_5927]

wish i could find a cheap cruiser to fix up, cant find nothing out where im at

[@JRCadventures]

Keep strong in the search! It took us about a year to find this one.

[@kanesouthaus]

as a 75 series owner, why did you choose a 75 to tour? LOL

[@JRCadventures]

Im thinking the same thing.....we are well down the hole. It was honestly just the cost that we got the car for. We had no idea it would turn into what it has.

[@kanesouthaus]

haha, nah god on ya, there fun to work and look cool, good luck on the rest of the build@@JRCadventures
