toyotafiberglass - Chris is back - 88 4Runner

Well Christine is back ..

we did a restoration for Christine about 5 years ago .. 88 4Runner with our 1/4rs , front fiberglass fenders , rear hatch skin , L trims and complete paint

some parts looking real ugly , so she wants us to fix it ...







so .. new FRP door skins , and front valance


started by removing the doors

time to get the skins off . With a grinder .. "clipped" the 3 edges





and removed the skin





a little YUCK undernieth .. but with a little welding .. good as new





trimmed out the FRP skin , and got it all ready for install






also , prepped the INSIDE of the door for install
