Hi Manotas,
Looking great. Is there much difference between the originals and the later Brusier ones ? I guess in terms of how stiff they are.

You mentioned you might sell on the left over parts from the build, I’d be interested so if you still decide to let me know when the dust has settled.

Cheers Al

Once this part of the job done, i applied 2 coats of clear lacque and once ready i applied the MCI decals

Hi Al,

Yes, the springs from the Bruiser are lots more softer than the Hi-Lux ones ! Sure, i will sell some left over parts just let me know what you are interested in and once this resto done i'll send them to you

Thanks Andy,

Yes, the combination of DOT and direct sunlight is the perfect solution to remove the paint !

Hi Manotas, could you send me a pic of what's left over, but I'd probably take all of it. Especially if you are getting rid of the rougher Hilux body.
Many thanks,
Al

WoW Perfect Manu.
