description  I picked this one up on ebay and received a pile of junk. No the same Hilux that was in the pictures that I thought I was buying but decided to see just what I could do with this one. Rough is not the word for this thing. Holes all in the body, broken leaf springs,not a mount on body intact, bent chassis rails, Bent and broken almost every part on this junk. and the worse looking radio box I have ever seen. Here we have the after pics followed by the before pics.
