| How can i fix my hilux body
my whole truck fell on a big rock, and of course it had to crack. The posts from the roof that connect to the hood are both broken. I tried gluing them back together, but it will not work, i flipped it again, and it wont hold for nothing. What should i do?

Put your glass back in. That should strengthen it up alot.

Cut a long skinny strip of styrene and Shoe Goo it to the inside of the pillar across the break. Then use some Tenax Styrene glue to "fuse" the break on the outside. Sand the area around it and itll stick better. This is exactly how my roof is held on in all 4 corners Check out the Ugly Yota build thread and you will see. Matt |
