Looking good glad to see your keeping it alive. 

Thanks will all be worth it in the end 

Where next ? to clean up the beams/axles  supension components etc and replace worn bushes ...................watch this space might get it painted this year🤞

And here we have it 

an absolute milestone for me  all welding is done and i cant tell you how good this feels 

No its not totally original anymore but its absolutely rust free now and solid on the body and ive used toyota metal where possible  

Then we cleaned everything up and started putting it back together and finishing off the rear sill

So onto the arch first off we cut out all the rust on the inner and outer 

After that was completed it was  onto the mammoth task of the drivers side sills and arches joe made a great job of this and it took a lot of time we 

repaired inner sills cutting away small rust patches 

replaced outer sills for new

these next pictures show the completed rear all primed

More overdue updates

We decided to tackle the rear to tidy up small rust patches its something you would never see but ive come this far so it needed to be done rust free donor panels again to the rescue 

Absolutely gutted for you

Always kept track of this build and was honestly one of my favourites 

More progress the pictures didn't download on the update for some reason one final sand before paint on that side 

Currently on with passenger side 

Also picked up a new windscreen so have some nice new glass to go in 

More updates to follow 

Great photos 

Cars looking lovely 

More body shop updates just about ready for paint 

Brilliant that

This is a class build the welding is mint love those trd bits you have 

Thank you some great lads on here that really helped out 

As for the build long way to go yet it's getting there will be worth it in the end 

I'm hoping so once weldings done Il probably send it to the garage next door to replace the discs pads AC condenser and control arms and bushes and any other things that could be mot related before it's has the respray and underseal so they don't get marked or disturbed

Just needs a serious reboot. Needs some mods and admin back online and a big push on fb and insta to push people back to the forum!
