THE PAINT IS SHINY AND NICE BUT THEY COULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME FEATHERING OUT THE OLD PAINT AND PREPING. IT HAS ALOT OF FLAWS IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY. I REPLACED THE DOOR PINS AND BUSHINGS AND HAD ALOT OF TOUCH UPS AROUND THE HINGES ALSO THE DASH SWITCHES. THERE WAS SOME SURFACE RUST BUBBLES WHERE THE FLOOR SUPPORTS MEET THE LT & RT QUARTER PANELS. IT WAS COSMETIC AND I TOOK CARE OF IT BEFORE INSTALLING THE DIAMOND PLATE WRAP. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL SECTION UNDER THE LT & RT STEP PADS THAT HAS BEEN CUT OUT AND NEW PIECES WELDED IN. IT IS DONE WELL AND YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL IT WAS EVER THERE. THE FACTORY GAUGES ARE HOOKED UP BUT ARE COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. THATS WHY WE INSTALLED THE MECHANICAL AFTERMARKET GAUGE POD. THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN WORKING AT TIMES AND THEN DROPING TO ZERO, I AM SURE IT NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT. THE MILAGE ON THE ODOMETER 43,701 MAY OR MAY NOT BE ORGINAL MILAGE. I JUST DON'T KNOW. NOW THAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU FULL DISCLOUSER LET ME SAY THAT THIS IS FJ40 IS A SOLID DRIVER THAT RUNS OUT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS. BID WITH CONFIENDENCE.
