Pig resto

I love to see these pigs restored!:D

I hope one of these days the 55's will be more popular so you could actually get your $ back out of a resto like this!

I'm probly alone on this but I think the 55's are the best looking Land Cruisers ever built!!!:cheers: Great work!!! It almost brings a tear to my eye!
 
looks good! the dash is missing the piece under the radio area correct? supposed to span between the cluster housing and glove compartment along the bottom of the dash
 
So what would it cast have this done to mine? Not that I could afford it I'm just shooting for pie in the sky!

Correct. I have been unable to locate a new one, and the old one is nothing but rotted foam, any leads?
 
11 days to go....must finish truck....running out of time.....

Anyway, I think the weatherstrip adhesive is getting to me.....

But, progress for the day was fair, I got both passenger doors rebuilt, except for door panels. Windows are in and work great, new felt, seals, and rubber...except the magical mystical rear door quarter window rubber....(man, compared to the rest of the truck, sure looks crappy)
