Got bored and wanted a mini project so first did the BHLM (a lot easier than I thought)
Followed by adding some Ivan Stewart inspired stripes (friend hooked it up with some scrap vinyl). Followed by the ARE MX camper (same friend gave it to me for free, good guy). Completing my 80’s ish look. Bonus, including pics of my old supercharged and EFI converted 81 hilux and 84 4Runner with original canback and... almost forgot my old 01 taco.

THATS the pic I was looking for.

Those bodylines and how they tie in the grill are timeless
