Going to part it out slowly

Been a while, been chipping away slowly.

changed the front brakes to ventilated disks with hilux surf callipers.

head gasket blew so changed out the head and discovered the poor engine was sludge city so cleaned that out.

bought a set of coilovers and stripped a set of struts and sent off for welding.

got the tune right but idle is uneven due to worn needles, need to order new ones.

got sick of looking at rust and she is being stripped and repaired one section at a time.

well this has escalated a tad. shell stripped of paint, major rust done just surface rust, oh and chose a colour.

colour is a variation of avocardo green, will be loud but i love it

busy weekend removing the top and blasting the plenium, getting close to primer now
