how do's it look trom front to back?

have you already thought to lower the body?

Yes, my first thought was to lower the body But unfortunately (as pointed out by another member ) Unlike the Ford body, With the Toyota body the windscreen is as close to the motor as you can get it, So lowering isn't possible Besides I have the Ford reasonably standard, So why not mod the Yota

So even though I haven't finish the Yellow yota I can't stand the purple on this one so much that I have to at least get it in undercoat

Pictures as it arrived

The first stage of media blasting the body :O



More progress tonight

Another hour or so working on this tonight Some sections require a lot of work as the paint is really etched in
I finished the left side and top plus put most if the time in to the tray, Now it's jut the Right hand side to complete before I tidy up the inside

So many time to blasting a body???? That's a hard work!

I don't think he blasts the Bruis like its a 1:1

No more body progress yet But hello bumpers

That's a first step Andy.

With many thank's to our Resident Toyota aficionado @Manotas There is a front guard section on it's way to replace my damaged left one I have also managed to buy an original grill and it too is on the way

Right then, Today was the day to give Electrolysis a try My plan with this bruiser chassis is to clean it up as nice a possible but keeping some of the patina, Basically any of the plating that has been damaged by corrosion will not be polished.

As this is my first try It will also be my guide as to how long I will need to keep the parts in to get the results I am looking for, This means that I am checking progress every hour at the moment

This is how things started and look after 4hrs of treatment, They still need longer as the most corroded areas can still improve. You can see how shiny the least corroded areas gave become
