Bolted both of the Rear Fenders with new Hardware..

I'll get a Photo out in the Wild, as the Paint Colour Match isn't as bad as it looks in this Photo..

Still on the look out for a Front Set, if anyone has a pair they are looking to sell..? I don't mind a bit of damage obviously, but need to have all the necessary mounting hardware etc.

Finally got around to fitting the Front Passenger Seat yesterday..

My Wife has had to sit on the Rear Seat, no complaints though as she had Business Class Leg Room; "Shame it still feels like I'm flying Coach"..

The rail on the original was damaged during removal, rendering a foot unusable, so I source a replacement Seat from a Breaker and swapped out the Rail.. I should have taken some Photos of this process, as it was more involved than I had anticipated, with each side of the Frame being independent from the other, the Back of the Seat providing most of the structure with a Frame they bolted to..

That looks better, although no delusions of Business Class now.. Premium Economy..?

Well, it's been a minute, and I have to admit I haven't made any progress on the 4Runner since.. What with turning 50, moving House and the Xmas and NY Period, I have been a bit busy..

I did however manage to source the Front Fenders and a full set of Mud Guards in great condition, as well as remembering I had a very rare Deflector that I will mount to the Bonnet.. I took it off some time ago, before any work started on the Beast and it has been dry stored since..

Here's a few Photos from the last coupla months, out in the Wilds of Tillingham, Peasmarsh for 50th Celebrations..

..on House Move Day [4Runner was loaded to the Hilt with anything fragile that we didn't fancy throwing in the back of the Removal Van], and sat on its new Drive under the Car Port..

More to come when the Weather is slightly less inclement, so I can restore the Fenders and clean up the Mud Guards..

So, about those Front Fenders..

Sourced a set from a trusted Breaker Yard for a great price, no cracks, dents or major chips, and all the mounting hardware too.. Wash, Abrade, Wash again and Plastic Prime..

Paint supplied by Paint Nuts, colour matched TOY045 Colour Code..

I will admit that the Paint didn't go down so well on the first pass.. The Can spat a bit, meaning I had to be sure the Wet & Dry got rid of any imperfections before the Final Coat..
