As the title states this is the build thread for my new to me 1997 3x locked 40th anniversary Land Cruiser. Having rebuilt a handful of cars from salvage I set out to find a suitable 80 series for my next project. I ran across this one at the local Copart and knew it was the perfect project. From the auction photos I could tell there was significant front-end damage that would need repair. The few things I was able to determine were: It was triple locked, it had 147 miles on brand new tires, It had a lift of some type, and it was a one owner truck out of Boulder. With these known items I set a price and waited for the auction, after a few back-and-forth bids I found myself the owner of this interesting new project. Below are the photos directly from the auction.. As is visible it is quite the project and I look forward to sharing the process as I dig into this project. The plan from here is to detail the process as I dissect and repair the damaged items.
