Far out that looks pretty sweet!

What are you going to do to it?

Personally I would just drive it!

Doesn't look like it needs much done to it.

Wow, That is a seriously tidy and original looking Lj.... A real treasure! It's almost a shame to turn it into a project as Potta says Posted Image .......but it's your dream so do as you must. Posted Image

Thanks for the comments . I'll try and keep as original as possible and look at a major resto (mainly paint) as time and funds become available.

Took a while to find but now it is a matter of some tidy up work and hopefully road ready next year. Told all original although after removing interior found a few clues that dont match. I think the original interior was black and was changed out a few years back. Look and condition ok though so i will probably keep.

Bit strange to go from black to blue ?

I thought so too but I found a orange ticket under the floor insulation which looks to have been put there at GMH and it has "BLACK" on it. The trim code although indicates "medium blue" but the actual colour according to info on this site is "indigo vinyl". Go figure. If cars could talk.

mate that is such an awesome example of tidy and original it would be a shame to mess with it. good luck and keep us posted.
