Juan directs vintage Toyota Land Cruiser restoration in Miami.

Heavy hydraulic lifts and clean assembly floors.

Restoration master Juan has run this shop since 2010. We do not do quick cosmetic touch-ups or conceal corroded rocker panels beneath textured undercoating. Every project entering 6897 NE 4th Ave undergoes complete frame-off teardown down to bare chassis rails. Our bays house heavy two-post hydraulic lifts, dedicated engine teardown benches, and clean assembly bays reserved strictly for final electrical, driveline, and interior trimming.

We specialize exclusively in vintage Toyota Land Cruiser utility vehicles: the FJ40 program running 85,000 to 120,000 USD, our Signature series at 200,000 USD, and the G40 series at 210,000 USD. Work follows three verified milestone payments: 50% deposit at project commissioning, 25% prior to body and paint work, and 25% before dispatch.

Powder-coated ladder frames and fresh zinc hardware.

Donor chassis are stripped of every bracket, crossmember rivet, and worn shackle pin. The steel ladder frame is shot-blasted to white metal, inspected on our alignment jig, and treated with zinc-phosphate anti-corrosion primer before receiving a durable satin black powder-coat finish. We discard fatigued fasteners. Every suspension leaf, shackle bolt, and steering linkage mounts with freshly torqued grade-8 zinc-chromate hardware.

Axle housings receive new ring-and-pinion gear sets, heavy-duty Timken bearings, and remanufactured knuckles. Brake systems are upgraded to front discs with stainless hard lines, giving a vintage FJ40 predictable stopping distances in modern highway traffic. We refuse to patch rusted frame channels; damaged sections are cut back to clean parent metal and reconstructed with matching gauge plate.

Bodywork formed by hand on the English wheel.

Classic Land Cruiser body tubs rust in three predictable zones: the rear sill, front floor pans, and cowl seams. Rather than filling rotted metal with polyester paste or bonding aftermarket fiberglass panels, our metal fabricators roll fresh heavy-gauge sheet steel through the English wheel. Curves and compound contours match factory Toyota pressings down to the millimeter.

Replacement panels are butt-welded using TIG torches to minimize heat distortion across wide quarter panels. Welds are hammer-finished and ground flat on both sides. Once bare steel tub fabrication passes Juan’s inspection, the shell is prepped for epoxy sealing. This is where client milestone 2 applies: 25% payment is cleared prior to entering our pressurized paint booths.

Powertrain rebuilding to tight mechanical tolerances.

Every engine block is line-bored, decked, and honed. We fit forged pistons, precision-balanced crankshafts, and new valvetrain components. Cast iron inline-six motors receive crinkle-finish valve covers, remanufactured carburetors or electronic fuel injection, and modern heavy-duty cooling packages. Transfer cases are fully rebuilt with brand-new bearings, seals, and idler shafts to eliminate the gear whine common to fifty-year-old utility trucks.

Wiring is brand-new throughout the vehicle. We discard brittle factory harnesses in favor of sealed, automotive-grade cross-linked wiring looms with modern blade fuses and weather-pack connectors. Every gauge is rebuilt, calibrated, and illuminated with warm LED backlighting that retains original dashboard aesthetics.
