Hey, Brian(swimmer)..... Want the part numbers for the OME shocks? hahaha. They're yellow too! Then, you could put all yellow Poly Bushings in there, .....hmmmm, maybe some Yellow paint on the slave cyl and other parts like that(starter?) ...you'll then really need to name it "Bumble Bee".... Dangit, there is already a Pro-4x4 Toyota out there named that! lol.

Jason the runner sounds like it is coming along pretty good. I am working on an '86 too. I call her Ole' Blue. recently got all fiberglass panels from toyotafiberglass.com. got all the parts, then found that noone wanted to touch the body work. Like you I don't have the time or facility to work on it much. found a local guy to install the 'glass, just waitin on the cash. picked up some new to me wheels, and a header recently. Got a ton of parts gathered up, but time, space, and cash keeps me from progress. Gonna watch your build for inspiration. thanks.

last pic before fiberglass front fenders. and updated mirrors.
The new-to-me wheels are Eagle alloys. Been wanting some of those for a long time. Trying to make it kinda "retro". Got 4" suspension lift, dual shock mounts front and rear and a rear truss from a '91 that I built years ago. Long way to go. If you need some parts I might have something. I do have a poly body mount kit never installed, if you are not gonna install a body lift.

Hello Jason...Bodywork is intimidating at first. Just like anything else. Just got to jump in there and do it. It takes practice and patience. I been doing my own lately. Some I cant find the dents even when I knew where they were. Other dents, well.... still got a ways to go. Hang in there.
