FJ20 into 1200

[Garth]

Yeah either one will be sweet. waiting on my bank to sort there crap out and give me a loan though haha. I had looked into it aswell and had found they called them FJ20ET, just put DET as thats what they are selling it as. Same story in the end I guess haha

Ok people now i need help ...doing the old trademe surf to ofcourse come across this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 845963.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Now part of me really wants to take a random trip up north and turn my fj20 plans into this, anyone know costs of getting trailer and all that?
Now my biggest problem ofcourse is the two seats (after owning an mr2 its something im trying to avoid)...however we can always have a cheap run around car i guess...

Someone help me, give me a good slap around and tell me if i want a 1200 sedan or ute? and if its worth going up north for however much this will cost to get the one shown above. If the price is ok ill probably go tomorrow so HELP ME PLEASE haha

Personally i'd prefer the 1200 sedan, i'm only 6ft and I still feel slightly cramped un a 1200 ute. A sedan you have a bit more room to move the seat back if swapping seats. But i'm slightly biased

[Garth]

Yeah im really stuck in the middle at the moment..also this ute could be a closer trip http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 024098.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
bit rough but its 550 haha so im not worried. wish there where some sedan bodies on there like that...would be all over them haha

theres a bit of a rusty sedan shell at waterloo rd wreckers. duno how much they want, but could be worth a look if you can do the work to get it up to scratch

[Garth]

hopefully there is someone there on a sunday..as I will be off to have a look! cheers!

[Garth]

Fj20et into a ute be any easier then into the sedan or they going to be about the same?

[Bartman]

I would say it'd be much of a muchness. AFAIK, they use the same sheetmetal for the engine bay etc.

[dirtyleppa]

doubt if they there sunday, but definitely all week. its a mustard colour one stacked right at the top of the pile

We now have a 1200 ute! for $600 bucks you can all imagine the rust, going to be a mint project though. I love it haha. pictures will be uploaded when i work out how and time to start a members ride project!
