Anyone heard of this crowd??

[BJ40dude]

CI Troa - (Toyota & Suzuki Body Panels) I have received keen prices for body panels and shipping to Ireland from this company but am a bit dubious, has anyone out there ever bought from or heard of this company?? Find invoice attached with prices.. thanks,

ps:: still trying to motivate myself to start my project, have the tub off the chassis, chassis is good condition but body v bad, also was wondering should i use weld or rivet in new steel panels?? Pics attached, thx for help..

Ouch thats alot of rust on that cruiser

 

[pbgbottle]

pretty sure there has been some of there stuff brought into Canada , but i haven't actually seen or touched it .

 

[BJ40dude]

certainly alot of rust on it Diesler but looks bad in the pics as it lost the shape when i removed from the chassis but I have it braced now and is a matter of plating etc. a mission i know but i'm confident to get this thing on the road this year(against all odds)

You asked the same question 6 months ago:

https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/290005-bj40-body-parts.html

A search of "TROA" and "Columbia" reveals lots more stuff.

Why repeat the exercise?

 

[BJ40dude]

had a lot on since and reviving the project now, am i annoying u or something?? plus there is more members now on this forum which may bring fresh ideas.

Glad to see a cruiser in Ireland! Good luck with the rust!

When I see stuff like that it makes me feel like I'm working on a brand new truck with mine.
Not to turn you off your project BJ40dude, anything is repairable.
Thanks for sharing your pics.

Thanks for sharing the prices. I have to say they look too cheap - fenders for $164 US? Add the shipping and it is still quite cheap. The other problem is the parts on the list won't complete your LC, you will need much more belive me.

The rivet or weld question worries me - welding is the only way to repair a steel vehicle like these for lots of reasons.

For comparison I have just got a price on fibreglass fenders and front bib and bezel from Canada a bit over $900 US, excluding shipping, taxes etc.

We should check we could be related

 

[cruiser_guy]

Check with Paul Pilgrim on the price of a full tub. Way easier and faster than fixing that pile of rust.

Contact Gerald. He can get a tub shipped to you from Pakistan. He is in Belgium. A lot closer than Central America.
