Hi Jeff, thanks for the kind words. I'm planning to ask the seller for a recommendation on where he sourced his parts for the build. There's literally an entire neighborhood of shops unlike anything I've seen before. Although I speak Spanish (in a limited capacity for my job), navigating that labyrinth is daunting by any standard. I'll report back as I too want to find a reliable source of parts. My job is very demanding so I likely won't have the bandwidth beyond a few assists. Regarding price, I spent a whopping $4900 USD out the door. I'm planning to purchase an FJ43 as well once the dust settles a bit. As a temp resident, I have the highly soughtafter Cedula Extranjero, which allows me to purchase. Colombia, with all its challenges, is a wonderful place to live. Getting to leave with some great, classic vehicles is only a bonus.
