WOW! Awesome colour.

yeh it's the colour of new toyota tacoma........ "speed way blue" / 8p1 :thumbsup:

 

but this is not the true colour..... it's just a matching color for the final coat (8p1)

 

8p1 is so close to the original blue color, but i couldn't find the original color code of this car....... :osama:

hi there.......

 

here's today's update

 

fit the panels to see whether they fit perfectly

 

 

 

there were some bubbles on the roof, so re-sanded them and filled

 

 

and the plastics were painted but forgot to take pics, here's a pic before the paint

 

then test fitted the tail lights

 

 

and that's all for today

 

tomorrow will be the day of the final coat of paint :yes:

i just like yellow because it looks better with the alloy wheels i'm using :yes:

i will measure them up and tell you as soon as i can....

[flyinwall]

yellow looks good but black would look better the hide the springs as i am doing (just finished all the welding in of rust repair panels so now it is full steam ahead on the body work to "TRY" and catch up to you if i can hehe i don't like my chances of catching up to you )

wow this is an awesome restoration job with a lot of effort. can't wait to see it finished!

[Skellington]

sweet. color came out nice.

Amazing! Especially the fabrication of the "beaver" panel. It's funny, I live in Canada, yet I've never heard that name! LOL. What tools did you use? Because I need to make a rear panel on my KE17 Sprinter, and I'm scared! Haha.

here's the finished beauty
