got everything in the dash "mounted" today .. made all the little clips and mount brackets .. and welded them all in place . so now they can easly be removed , but wont be falling out .

I have also changed my plan for the dash .. I wont be doing the woodgrain .. I'm going to paint the main dash and center console the "inferno red" , same color as the outside , with the cover/pad being grey leather to compliment the interior all the dash trim is going to be painted black

I now just have a few little dash lamps and such to wire , and I believe then , I am ready for the tear down

working on the passenger door .. hinges are re-pinned , and as of today , the old metal , dented and starting to rust skin has been removed .. I need to still clean up the interior of the door a bit .. POR15 it .. and then I can bond the new skin on

same process as the drivers door

Hi there,
I have just joined this forum and I stumbled across this build up, I love the work you have done there, I am about to embark on a second rebuild of my 4 Runner but no where near the level you have gone to, not to mention we don't have a fibre glass manufacturing place here in Australia to do those panels, we have to find panels in good shape and use them. I wish you the best, not that you need it by the way it looks now, my hat is off to you.

slacker · 10-27-2009, 05:32 PM

Thanks !! ..
I sent you a PM

.

slacker · 10-28-2009, 05:11 PM

passenger door "epoxied" and curing overnight .. also got a little more done on the wiring .. had to add and move a few plugs for the lighter and such also got all 4 accessory ports wired .. drilled and set into place . I want to add the cup holders to the console , and maybe a "pocket" as well ..

have some pics up tomorrow

.

slacker · 10-29-2009, 05:56 PM

ok so as suggested .. Right door is done and mounted ..

and pics of the ports .. rears you can just see at the top of the rear of the console .. also the rear switch is installed ..

and the cupholder pics will have to wait .. It's all done , but I ran out of batteries in the camera .

also working on the guage wiring ..

.

slacker · 10-30-2009, 04:32 PM

so cupholder in .. ;D

also installed the oil pressure sender

and got the guages wired .. (still have a bit to do) they will all be green -- to match the rest of the dash .

.

awareness · 10-30-2009, 07:48 PM

I wish I had that sort of cupholder. Very cool.

ocdropzone · 10-31-2009, 02:19 AM

can you upshift or will you dogleg the shifter?

slacker · 10-31-2009, 08:47 AM

yes .. console is not all the way forward in that pic ..

slacker · 10-31-2009, 04:41 PM

ok .. so I believe I'm all done the wiring now

.... Finished up the guages (now green) almost time to sauder all the cinnections , and tape and loom .

also did the new dome lamp in the rear ,

and a "walk-in " lamp wired to the auto shut off lamp system , I will install it down in the foot area when the time comes .

.

dunnarunner · 11-02-2009, 06:50 AM

Coming along very nicely, I think I will need to make up a new consul myself, the manufacturers don't cover the things I am looking to put in there, I think i have too many things in there for my own good, I try to give a look that says it was suppose to be there, rather than something added later sort of appearance. because I am using 3 radio's for comms, the 27meg SSB CB. the UHF CB. and the HF Codan set as well. plus all the entertainment stuff as well. not that it all goes into the consul, but like your dash, it has to look right before you can be happy. I am really enjoying this thread so keep up the great work.

slacker · 11-03-2009, 05:02 PM

thanks ...

slacker · 11-03-2009, 05:03 PM

Epoxied the dash , inside and out , and now ready for the final bodywork

.

slacker · 11-05-2009, 06:12 PM

so today the dash bezzles .. hi-solids primed twice .. and sanded once. .. I'm STOKED .. so far , they look awesome !!

i'm hopin' to shoot some black on them this weekend ..

.

slacker · 11-08-2009, 07:11 PM

so I didnt get the dash pieces done this weekend , but I did get some more work on the center console done .. I built a little pocket , for the rear heater cold/hot leaver .. and started working on the arm rest with map holder pocket undernieth

.

xjdubber · 11-11-2009, 06:51 PM

nice work!

slacker · 11-14-2009, 04:43 PM

dash is basically ready to go for paint and trim . I still have to finalize the gaps yet .. but basically done

here are the pics ....

also .. trying to get all the little things done , I built the console arm rest , got it hinged and front latch , also the limit strap done .. and now also ready for trim/covering ...

also working on the shifter boot mounting .. bent up a coat hanger into a square , and got it welded today .. figured out how I'm going to mount it .. just need to make some small clips ...

.

rowdy235 · 11-16-2009, 05:26 PM

Looking nice, good to see you're spending time on the little things that will be nice in the end. Keep up the good work.

slacker · 11-17-2009, 05:20 PM

here is the "ring" with the clips .. the shifter boot will be sewn to the ring , and the held down with the clips .. on to these studs .
