Ferret90 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Ive started on my hilux... new wheels number plates and an ifor canopy. It was a lot harder to make than expected as I had to bend the plastic. It is also going to get a bit of a weathering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr-abich Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 looks nice. With little bit of rust which is common unfortunately on Japanese cars will be extra realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With little bit of rust which is common unfortunately on Japanese cars will be extra realistic I've seen rust on German cars only 2 or 3 years old.. Japanese cars had rust issues back in the 80's.. Every car will rust after a while..One thing I will say about Japanese cars over their European competition..is that they are far more reliable..

Thanks Dominik Yeh, to be fair most cars rust but the older hiluxes seem to be prone to it but the are bloody good trucks.

BUT it's more a BMW Z4 underneath by all accounts. .The Hi Lux is nice..only the 2.4 L version don't seem to have the pulling power . The 3.0L is a far better option .

I've got two tabs that clip on the inside which helps and keeps it on the truck. I didn't realise they have partnered up with Peugeot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
