#26 6H9 Grayish Olive custom project, bodywork and paint.

I wanted some aftermarket wheels but didn't want to spend the extra money. So, I sand blasted the original wheels, sprayed epoxy primer then paint code 153 which is an FJ62 color. I am loving these wheels now and I am glad I used them.

Those look awesome, and as much as l like so many aftermarket wheels ... the factory wheels really look perfect on the 80.

That is true, I was just really trying to do many custom things to this project and wheels seemed to be an easy addition. I am glad that I cheaped out though because this color on these wheels complements the green very well.

This is a good one. New buttons! One of my favorite things I did.

Looks gunmetal-ish. Perfect.

Sandblasted the axles and other parts, then POR-15.

 

[kelly saad]

Sand blasted the frame while it was exposed and used POR-15 chassis paint.

Wow the attention to detail is amazing! Great work.

The gas tank cover plate was rusty! I sand blasted it then sprayed epoxy primer and liner. Looks good. Also, I cleaned up the fuel tank and repainted it.

I had bought some BIO sliders and bumpers for this 80 a few years ago. I wanted to customize the front tube bumper, so here is my design. I will add some things to the rear bumper and sliders too. Also, eggshell sheen clear coat on the new mirrors.

 

[kelly saad]

Adding stripes to the lower doors, and only the doors.

 

[kelly saad]

I made some step plates for the sliders. They will be sprayed with liner and color matched to the wheels. I drilled holes into the sliders and used rivet nuts, then button head SS bolts.

Also, when I made the steps for the sliders, I made a rack that will specifically hold my tent. The cross braces have nuts welded in place to hold the tent. This picture is after I painted it and used an eggshell sheen clear coat. The rack is upside-down here, hanging. My booth filter got wet and fell down in this picture!

 

[kelly saad]

I painted the top of the tent.

6H9 is the best Toyota green out there. Love it on this 80 too.
