Love the stance on your 60, just perfect. Looking really nice.

You SCORED on that 4runner. I have an '87 SR5. But you don't see many '85s like that often.

Finished sound deadening the doors. Also, used some silicone grease to lube the tracks. Got some new handles, one of the original ones was broke. They were originally meant for a truck but work fine with a little trimming and a few holes opened up. Originally they came black but I painted them to match the grill, which is also very close to the OEM color of the euro spec rear view mirrors. OEM radio installed with speakers.

Looks great...what paint did you use on the door handles?

I used rustoleum hammered black satin. It’s the closest I could find off the shelf to the euro spec rear view mirrors. Used it on the grill and light bezels as well.

Did a couple trips up the mountains here in L.A. to the snow this winter.
And got a bitchin key chain from Cruiser Convoy.

Covered in mud then a day trip to the snow is a special combo in LA

Been a while since I posted in here. Not completely positive of what’s happened since the last update but switched out a bunch of smog parts to get it passed the smog test. Hired @RodrigzCrzr to rebuild the smog pump and instal a Cityracer steering pump. Had the truck wet sanded and polished, looks shiny now. Love how it cleaned up even with the og paint being thin and blown through in areas. Really questioning if I’m actually going to sell it now.
