 Can I ask what you used for the mold for the yota emblem? Did you just melt styrene into the mold? It looks great, whatever you did! | |

Dashboard action. I saw these colors in an SR5 Hilux and thought they were pretty nifty.  Instructions  Gotta have keys  Dinky steering wheel, very awesome  Keeping it legal  Silver leaf  All sorts of indicators going off  Lower gauges  | ||

Very awesome, I love all the details you added. The ride height looks pretty good too, there's an old (82 I believe) Toyota just down the road from me that the people there bought a couple weeks ago and looks about the same height as this.

Carpet  Took another stab at aluminum doors. Looks good enough to smash up   Just a little surface rust   Hilux emblems that fell off my other Hilux  Tried to give the carpet some age  Ain't got a radio so it don't need an antenna. More aerodynamic that way.  | |

Tiny update, probably doesn't even merit a post.. Sure hope it didn't say $6000  At one point in time the door was repainted, not sure why.  |

It looks great noob.. I have to say that interior is way to clean though. Got be some mcdonalds or Tbell on the floor, old news paper roll of toilet paper. even if it just got sold no way it would be that clean inside  |

I drove it today!! I hope you like pictures. I had to put the doors on, I couldn't resist.  Other side  Getting stuck  So much for that door   Ohh what's in the box? Hopefully a new door  While traveling to the next batch of rocks I accidentally hit this scale tree. It did its fair share of damage. Luckily there wasn't a driver inside   Light damage on the passenger side. Judging from the missing lock on the door this truck was broken into before.  Not a scratch   Testing out my new lens. I like it.    | ||

OK seriously, the truck looks INSANE. Simply wonderful work. The new lens makes it look so vintage, I love it. Looks like that was your uncles rig back in the day and he passed the pictures down to you LOL. Way to go. Now to get a picture of this and the Blue Lux together would be sweeet! |

New lens is legit for sure. I was laughing my ass off over the picture where you hit the scale tree  BTW, How are you holding the doors on? Did you hinge them? |
