Hello all, hope this is the appropriate place for this question.
I have the opportunity to purchase an '88 FJ62. The engine runs, even though all of the seals need replaced... 210,000 miles. The tranny won't go into reverse, which just recently started, but I'm guessing this means it'll need a new tranny? Needs a new exhaust. A decent amount of body rust... spots around the roof edges, fender well, door edges, the usual places I suppose. It's spent most of its life in Michigan.
The other systems work (electrical, 4wd, etc). The interior is in pretty good shape other than it could probably use new carpet.
Is this thing worth $500? $1000?
I know these aren't as hot of an item as the FJ80s, but I thought it could still be made into a decent rig.
Thanks for your help!
