Money Pit

Might as well put this out there now, LandCruisers are a money pit ... !
I have read this before, but its not till you actually start to fix/repair or restore a LandCruiser that you realise just how much money can be spent.
The reality is once you start, you are pretty much paying the cost of a new truck/car.

I'm trying to keep this site as an actual record of the project and for that I need to list the costs. So here's some parts and costs for same.  These are just the pretty bits :)
This is a list of parts ordered to date. This does not include the next major order which will include the tub and body panels ..... makes me cry :)
