Builds Overhaulin´ - Lots of pics

[haffi]

Thanks guys

Tonight I got the tailgate, the bumper and the missing parts of the front flares on. Too bad I think the color on those don´t match the rest of the car. It will become clear in daylight tomorrow.

I forgot my camera at home this morning so no pics until tomorrow. I will shoot some outside for the first time and post them here.

Tonight I took it home for the first time in exactly seven weeks, I started taking it apart on Thursday night short seven weeks ago.

What kind of roof rack is that?

HOLY SMOKES!
Awesome Haffi, your 80 turned out excellent! I'm really loving that colour and the whole stance of your beast. Keep the mega-awesome pics flowing brother!

Oh lordy me! That looks great! Blue looks so much better than the white I have in the driveway.

Thanks for the thread.

Very much need to fill those flare out, 44s need to go on

 

[IanB]

I love it, thanks for documenting everything for us to follow along!

I see you guys are LHD as well, what kind of pricing does an HDJ80 sell for in those parts?

Awesome build! congrats

 

[haffi]

No updates from me yet. Exept today I took it to a Exhaust shop and had a 3" exhaust installed. Sounds so much better then the stock pipes.

Very much need to fill those flare out, 44s need to go on

Naahh, no thanks. 44" are way too expensive for a daily driver and not suitable for my use. But I agree, they look good. I might feel the need to go for a 38" next.

I see you guys are LHD as well, what kind of pricing does an HDJ80 sell for in those parts?

80 series are probably the most expensive cars you can find here according to age. I took my rig to my Insurance Company to have it valued after the rebuild. The price they put on the Insurance card if I total the truck is close to 23.500 USD.
That price seems just about fair. If you consider the price of a another truck and making it as good as this one.

Rear Floor

Nice cruiser man, lot of work. Would love to see more pics in action. I was wondering about the rear floor. I saw few pics of what looked like some storage space where the spare usually is. Can you maybe snap some pics of that and explain, thanks

 

[haffi]

Thanks.

Check this tread for more infos on the storage compartment in the floor.

There will be more pics. I will try to shoot some action pics next weekend. There are some volcano eruptions going on in Iceland at the moment. My plan is to have a look at that next weekend

I might add some pics tonight from last weekend.

Two pics I shot last Saturday on a short trip I took.
