Vince's 4Runner

[Slacker]

Vince rolled into the shop today for some new 1/4rs , tail gate skin and paint . his truck was previously repaired , welded and bondo'd a few years back .

also previously the L front fender was replace with our fiberglass .

so here we go

[Slacker]

got the roof off and interior out , tail lights , fuel filler door ect ...





and ready to cut the 1/4rs off



this runner wasn't to bad on the out side .. although it had been "fixed" once by someone else .
so if you have a "keeper" and are thinking of welding patches in .. have a close look at what might be lurking on the inside

[Slacker]

got the inners all cleaned and prepped for some POR15 .









also fit the panels , got everything trimmed to fit , and all prepped .. like the fuel filler pot .. nutcerts installed






and NEW panels test fit ...

[Slacker]

so Vince's original Tailgate was toast , and not worth repairing , so we needed to find a replacement .. finally found a "good" one . so now we can continue

damaged skin removed (was in an accident)



I got everything cleaned up and ready for some POR 15 . 24 hrs later
all cured ,





and new FRP skin all prepped



time for some epoxy







and clamped




will fit tomorrow , and off to paint




.
