There aint nothing wrong with that door for a base to work off, i'm fixing a rustier donor door for the sedan. But i suppose mines not being repaired by Josh.

That Hilux looks exactly like a basher car my brother in law sold a while back?

Car wasnt masked proiperly and its all over the rubbers? gay tan interior?

Did it have/still have a 253 in it?

nah wasnt a basher an older fella owned it was painted blue when he first bought it and no gay tan interior had a blue interior too
he bought it to rebuild into something more but decided to turn it into a rock crawler thing...

the door needs to be lifted a tad just looked at it then, but its got alot less bog in it now the metal was shaped it took about a weekend in total to get the metal basically straight, and chasing bog everywhere, it was a nightmare of a job, wasn't too sure were the bog was gonna stop but im glad it stopped were it did

on the photo the line looks really bad but in person its a tad out...

and if your gonna post hateful or disrespectful comments go elsewhere coz i've had it with frOckhead's

WTF?

Think you're being a tad sensitive this time mate.

From the pic, it is clear there is an issue with alignment.

Better that people point it now rather than after you've painted the thing don't you think?

So all jokes aside have you set a time to spray on some green paint or different colour and put this back on the road so you can sell or enjoy it.
Good to see you put up some pics.
