Landcruiser 80 series full rebuild and chassis galvanizing... In Ireland.

[@spookytoof8]

I found a 97 40th anniversary in Montana, with 369,000 miles on it, it has some rust here and there but nothing dire or severe. Yet lol. Id like to eventually do something just like this to preserve it, so thanks so much for uploading this it really helps my adhd brain to really know whats at hand haha. Beautiful rig! Glad you saved it!

[@avpr1c]

You saved one of the best vehicles ever made. Great job!

[@toyota80series62]

Thanks 👍🏻

@Armando Trenton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@rickytyson8778]

@Armando Trenton it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !

Great rebuild well done.
I've got a Series 80 had it since new 1996. Has done 97000 Kms (2021). Manual gearbox, petrol engine and absolutely no rust or modifications. Purchased a new LC200 V8 Twin Turbo diesel last year. Couldn't part with Series 80. The prices for Series 80s seemed to have bottomed out and are now rising here in Australia as people are recognising how good these vehicles are. Many are now approaching or have exceeded 500,000Km. Toyota reportedly said the engines are good for a least 1,000,000 Kms providing you look after them and change the engine oil and oil filter every 5000Kms, particularly with the diesel version. I understand that Toyota still manufacture this engine to put in forklifts and other off road applications with the option of running on LPG when necessary .

[@Mongoswede]

Did you have any chassis distortion issues with the heat in the galvanizing process? I've heard that some people have problems and others none at all.

[@toyota80series62]

No problems at all came out perfect

[@yanli7455]

Cooool

[@lf-1942]

I'm curious with all that work to get it galvanized why didn't you paint the frame? Dip paint to protect the inside and outside. It will corrode much sooner now.
How much did that cost?
Why not galvanize the body?
I really thought of doing this for a future project. Have not found many videos of anyone doing a land cruiser. Thanks.

[@toyota80series62]

LF - galvanizing the chassis was 200 Euro it’s hot dip can’t hot dip body it would distort panels

[@jom5157]

Im looking to get this done too..where in Ireland does this?

[@paulhosty7204]

Great footage. Can I ask where you got it dipped?.

[@toyota80series62]

Shannonside galvanizing in county limerick

[@paulhosty7204]

Did you fill any of the threaded holes on the chassis before galvanising?. Mine is just prepped for galvanising now and iv heard of different products to stop the galvanising covering the threads. 3m do a red Putty. Just wondering did you drill and tap or fill and remover filler after galvanising? Thanks

[@monkeymagic4555]

@@paulhosty7204 drill them right out and nut and bolt wherever there are permanent threads impossible to seal/prevent thread damage

Hey, nice job. Would she be eligible for vintage Tax in 2023?

Yes 56 euros tax a year 👌

[@rocketappliantist4969]

My 80 series has a lot of rust in the back end. Would it be reasonably possible to only replace the frame rails near the back? Maybe I could cut and weld it. How much work is it to disconnect the body from the frame?

[@toyota80series62]

Shakur Yotiiv , it is about full days work if the main body bolts are not rusted to take body off the chassis

[@colbynorrie2930]

What steps do you follow to take the body off? I’m wanting to do the same to my 80

You’re good, should open your own shop.

[@glenharrington7300]

How much does a job like this cost? Would you ever do it to someone else’s landcruiser?

[@toyota80series62]

Parts and paint cost 15000 euros give or take a few 1000 Euros . It was 6 hours labor every night for 4 months so you can’t put a cost on that . I don’t think I would do it for some one else , but if they had endless money to spend maybe.😀

[@toyota80series62]

To hot dip galvanize the chassis was just 200 euros

[@oOOpIIIqOOo]

@@toyota80series62 Well done, amazing work! Did the chassis warp at all from the hot dipping? How did you remove corrosion inside the chassis tubes prior to galvanizing?

[@toyota80series62]

No it’s very strong chassis so no warpping at all, to get all corrosion and paint off the inside of chassis before galvanizeing,I got the galvanizing company to leave it steeped in the acid bath over night so it was perfectly clean in side
