My 60 trollhole has been working on! Now to rob the dent of some small things to finish it up!
New key chain
Do you have the grab handle that goes on the A pillar on the drivers side ? Also looking for the access cover for lock in the rear tailgate if you have it. Thx
Will have to look but will be Friday before I can get out there!
Dropped off the GX to the body shop for repairs from the accident. The insurance company tried to offer me "a few hundred dollars" to settle with me for pain and suffering. I laughed and told them they forgot a few zeros.

Too soon to settle too. Save all your DR bills over the next couple years, then see what they say.
Yeah, I have at least a year till I see the full impact of whiplash from what the lawyers tell me. Even if it was a moderate case. If it turns chronic it could be a lifetime problem.
I don't think either of mine had the drivers side handle for the a pillar. The access panel I sold to someone in Canada!
I have a drivers A pillar handle the one with the funky bend, and a few just plain arch handles.. pm me if you still one it.. I might be able to dig out an access panel what color? and exactly which one? the long one I am guessing...
Finished most of the new stereo install in the 80.

Participated in the GT Auto Show this past Saturday and the Toyota crowd was pretty impressive...Harness brought his LV, Ankur brought his 60 and I parked on the biggest rock I could find in the lot. We met a couple Tech students that had really nice 60 and 40. Another guy with a 4WD Tercel Wagon too. The broad range of cars was overwhelming...from a 1908 IH "Auto-Wagon" to a Fiskers Karma. It was kind of funny that the electric cars decided to park next to the 4x4 crowd. All photos HERE

Started my removable storage box in the 80. I'll post up a build thread when done. It may take a while though. I also have to finish some bookshelves in the house too. Pushing the limits on putting that task off
So that is the bracket.
Yep. Jason at Cruiser Yard hooked me up with a pretty clean set. I'll cut the sides this weekend and staple them to the base.
I have sourced a set of slides. 40" full extension with roughly 450 pound capacity. They are not cheap, so if you are going to make more than one drawer it will get spendy.
My plan all along has been to make one wide drawer. I give up 1.5 inches of width with the slides. Add to that the thickness of the sides and the drawer volume begins to decrease.
I'll post up more pics as it progresses.
