Is anyone heading towards Strata Florida this weekend who might like to join/meet up? I'm likely driving my BJ45 so would like to join a Land Cruiser group to go through Strata Florida etc. on this Sunday 1st May - I'd hate to have to join or tow a Land Rover group!! Thanks Adrian

Morning Tony, Thanks, look forward to seeing the pictures. A

Sounds good if they are in good nick. Might be able to meet this weekend. My leg is still improving, I can drive now - finally! Let me know if you got the jigsaw. Adrian

Morning Tony, What sort of nick are your sun visors in (can you do a photo?) How much do you want for them. Any luck with a window latch? The picture of the RHD was not mine, just a clip from the internet to show the grab handle I'm after. Leg getting better, binned the crutches and seeing...

Moggy, Thanks for the compliment. I must say Beige 416 seems to be a classic colour and looks really smart Adrian

Okay, let me know if you find one. I'll keep looking elsewhere in the meantime.ThanksAdrian

Morning Giles, Thanks for letting me know. Do you have a quarter light window catch, I need one for right hand door (LHD passenger side)? Also a wiring cover for the back door? Please let me know Thanks Adrian

Thanks for the compliment.Working with Land Cruiser Owners Club members who helped me with parts and advice, suppliers from abroad and the team at Three Corners Garage has been a long and enjoyable process.I'd do it again I think.Adrian

Restoration Nearly complete (see photos) Yesterday we managed to drive the BJ45 out of the garage following a full body repair and respray. Thanks to Geof and his team in the spray shop at Three Corners Garage in Ambrosden Oxfordshire, they have done a great job over the last few weeks...

Great, see you later.

We are trying to get a BJ45 finished this morning after a respray. I'd like to bring it along to Lincomb later to see the action if that's ok?

Will try to make it around 11am - do I just turn up or need to ask anyone's permission or pay. What's the drill? adrian

Hoping the BJ45 will be ready to drive on Friday. Thought I might bring it to Lincomb on Saturday for the day. What is the procedure, are you going? Adrian

Morning tony Are you at the overland show at Stratford this weekend? Adrian

Might be ready by then so will try to make Lincomb. I've snapped my achillea tendon so will someone to drive me there. Catch up soon Adrian

Morning Tony Things are taking longer than expected - they always do. We reckon on spraying next week but the guy doing it is about to unexpectedly go away for a fortnight so might be a further delay. Better to wait and get the right result rather than rush it. Was planning to go to...

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks Moggy1968 I see what you mean and it suits perfectly. We have decided to go with the greyer 416 Beige and hope it looks ok on a BJ45. We'll soon see!! Thanks again Adrian

I'll post some pictures when they are available, probably be a while yet though. Best wishes Adrian

Morning Tony, Are you well? Yup, looks good, have to decide on colour this afternoon as the paint needs to be ordered to start the respray on Monday. Thanks for the tip. Adrian

Thanks Andy, I've sent Moggy a message. Adrian

Thanks for the input anyway - I now have a RAL swatch to look at and compare. A

The guy doing the spraying has given me 2 swatches of what he calls beige 416 and beige 464. Unfortunately I've nothing to check it against to see how close the colour matches the original. Any thoughts....? Adrian

We are well underway renovating a BJ45 (see the picture) and about to respray. People have been very helpful with finding parts etc. - thank you all. I'd like to spray it Toyota Beige 416 (it was white). Can anyone now let me know where the paint colour can be sourced or how we can get a...

Tony Just wanted to say thanks very much for helping with the side panels and back doors. It was good to meet you and swap stories and trade parts. I have been thinking about the addition of powered steering so I'd be grateful if you could let me know what to look for in terms of parts from...

Giles Thanks for your offer of help but, it was only yesterday that the DVLA rang and have agreed to now register the vehicle following confirmation from Toyota about date of manufacture and a few other details. I am hopeful the document and tax disc will arrive in the next few days so I can...

Giles, Thanks for you input. Yes, got a UK MOT but as the vehicle had been off the road for a while in Portugal the certificate we got was their version of SORNI think which DVLA seems not to have seen before? Gone back to DVLA with all their latest requests, hopefully we're there now but...

As Andy rightly says above, if anyone in future needs a Vehicle Dating Letter for DVLA or anyone else, Toyota do have a "vehicle dating" service. It took and week and £75 once sufficient facts and documentation were available from me for them to provide me with a letter - Application form...
