Glad to see this is still going, albeit in a new life! Good luck with the new version, hopefully it doesn't need too much fixing and leaves you more time for modifying

You'll see me a few times. Im the younger mechanic wearing the grey beanie.

Hey guys!!!

IM BACCCKKKK!!!

So. The good news, or the bad news??


Bad news:
After getting back from japan and getting stuck into the ute again, i realised i had a slim chance that i would be able to get a roadworthy certificate because of the work that had been done repairing the chassis from what looks to be an accident. So no more OLD hilux...

Good news!!!:

My mate sent me a link to ANOTHER ute.

Yellow. Manual. Petrol. Straighter body and cleaner. AANNNDDDD.... a tub!!!! D.

So ill be going to melbourne to pick it up tomorrow!

Here are pictures of it at the dealership.

I'm seriously jealous you have rhd.

I would love to import a front clip/whole truck!

JDM ftw ;p. There isn't many 2wd versions around in Australia. There all 4wd .

looking sick Miles. cant wait to see this rolling through melbs with te rest of the boys. think ull have this stanced by 100mm?

Thanks Pete! Haha you and me both man. I'm hoping to! If not then ill be aiming to have it 00% by showcased .

I love this era of Hiluxes, and your attention to detail is sick. Makes me want to clean my truck up some. I'll be following this fo sho.

Thank you sir! Trust me its well worth the time and effort! Funny how much a clean and some fresh paint can change a car .

i want a freaking hilux so bad

Haha believe it or not, I didn't even want this. When I first got it, I just put it in the corner of the yard. Then I realised my heart truely is with old school Toyota's . I used to own a ke30 too. Loved it but sold it to a mate with more time.

This is by far the most wrinkley stanceworks build.

Awesome work so far, cant wait to see this thing shakotan'd up!

Love it!

Thank you!

Probably my most favorite Toyota pickup ever made, and you're doing a fantastic job of doing it up right.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks alot!! I appreciate the kind words . If I had more time to have it off the road it wouldve been 100% resto. Once its in the road ill take bits off and clean them up a bit nicer .
