Hello,  now i have some time for my old friend. It is Toyota Hilux pick up. This car is not so bad condition, it was siting on the shelf for long time and i want to make it running again, a lot of work ahead. This is how it looks at the moment. Few photos:

This is the start of the restoration, first of all i need to clean all the parts, they are so dirty a lot of oil on the chassis. Few photos:

Hi friends, today cleaned all small parts of the frame, i still need to clean radio box and gearbox. Started to work on the rebuild, placed new tyres for the truck, they are reproduction, but look as original, even have small letters on the sides. Few photos:

Didnt know the original release had solid axle with no proper dif in it. And are the chassis rails solid bar?

 

I am currently building my ReRe Bruiser. My axle's would go straight on that. The gear'd diff is such a work of art in it

Hello, the chassis rails are solid aluminium i think, they are separate, a very nice work of art indeed. It has no proper dif thought.

Working on the radio box now. I was thinking does radio box had a rubber around, to protect from water?

The radio box does not have a rubber seal of any sort.
