A couple years ago this Body was dropped of to us from a good friend @ofer bruhis . The condition resembled most 60 series restorations that we had been doing, and had done previously. So, we began removing the old paint and bodywork down to the metal. The roof was removed because an Alu-cab will be installed. Once we uncovered the surprises (rust, damage, and previous bodywork), they were much worse than anyone anticipated, so it sat a while until we all created a plan, and scheduled the project for a completion date.
Here we are, now more than a month into the raw guts of this project. My intensions were to begin this thread weeks ago, however, I have had no time at all. This intense project will take both of us full time @orikawa and myself.
All the available new parts were ordered from Toyota. We have quarters, pillars, and lots of other odd items that would be impossible to recreate. Everything else, we will rebuild.
