longggg delay! bought a bmw, a house, got busy with life now back to important stuff the 4runner! I just ordered my rear quarters from wolf, so they should be here soon. Then all the rust cleared off, bumpers, and paint. I'll post pics when the replacement sheet metal arrives. Ohhhh and since it's been over a year I have done nothing but mechanical stuff. New timing belt, water pump, front calipers and rotors, new tires etc

 

Got the rear quarter panels from wolf welded on. Not quite a direct fit but they are pretty good. The pics will show how they look when I first got them on then with a white sealer/primer. The last pic shows the truck in full grey primer. I have another coat of primer to put on them im spraying it blue. Sorry for the bad pics its hard to take photos with your hands full and dirty.

 

 

sorry for the sideways pics. i edited them like ten times i don't know whats wrong. anyhow it feels great to be rust free!

 

Looks awesome, man! I gotta ask, though, how did you get your stripes off? I've got some pesky ones that will not budge..

 

I love seeing people restore these old trucks!! I am kinda in the process of doing the same to mine. Keep up the good work and dont forget to keep us updated.

 

Thanks guys! It's painted now. I have to upload the pics, just been really busy. As for the stripes my brother got me some aircraft type removal stuff. I still had to heat them up and sand them off after that. No denying they were really stuck on after 24 years! I'll try to get all the paint pics up tomorrow
