I know my old Hilux did, and was handy when it needed scubbing out
This truck will be living at the end of a long fairly steep hill so it should get emptied on a regular basis.
I did think about drain holes but you'll understand why they aren't needed when you see the speedliner applied. It won't matter if water is collected and allowed to stand, even freeze, the speedliner will cope magnificently.
Time constraints for me leave me only helping out now and again but I really enjoy seeing this truck come back to life, I think it's gonna be a bit special when it's done.
Probably need one of those V8 thingy's before long.Last edited by KERRSURF; 9 April 2013, 23:18.Alan

Hey Brian, I'm looking at that pic above and thinking the alloy would be really nice polished up, it would go with the 'T' alloy infills and the angle edge we are gonna fit. We can remove the alloy plate, polish it, speedline the plastic and edges of tailgate and then re-fit the plate. Whaddya fink?Last edited by KERRSURF; 9 April 2013, 23:15.Alan

If you want to get everything ready and let me know I could get the gun and apply the epoxy for you. Gun works on compressed air. You could cut tubes and mix thoroughly by hand for smaller applications.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

Not being critical, but I am in a way...
Hi Brian,
Rather than cut to fit the window you have, why didn't you follow those nice lines and have some glass cut to suit. Or is it ( a lot more expensive) more technical than that?
If the glass had followed those B Pillar lines, it would have looked so "factory fit"
Hard to criticise such fantastic work, just a thought that I had."B.A." Baracus: "Talk to me, talk sense so I can talk back. Not all this jibberjabber like breaking the peace and all that."

In my head i was fitting a smaller window than I have ended up with. However I am happier with the slightly larger Landy cab window but then I have always liked the 90.Last edited by yoshie; 13 April 2013, 00:29.Brian

Budweiser's pic is what I was on about, but agree, if you are covering it with a roll bar, your design might/(will probably!) be better...
As you were...
Fantstic work Brian, I'm sure you could upset a few folk on the pick up forum with that truck!"B.A." Baracus: "Talk to me, talk sense so I can talk back. Not all this jibberjabber like breaking the peace and all that."
