1979 Toyota Hilux

I bought this one in 1983, and after about 400 different
paint jobs I thought it was time for another,
Sorry there are no workshop pics, I kinda got stuck into it
and forgot all about them. It does have a motor but only
the top half. the next time it gets a make over I might
drop a full one in. The tyres are 2 piece plastic and look
like crap, they will do for now.
Hope yas Like!

magic ! nice ride for the offroading gigs is the eski full/nice one shoey cheers colin

Nice work Shoey. I'm almost expecting a T-Rex to jump out of that night scene.

cool build for a very basic old kit. I hope he's not going to shoot the rifle the scope would be out after the first bump but them again it would be after a few rums as well. another top build from you Shoey I like the lights are they LED's

Awesome build as per usual man! Luv the lights Did you use a lighting kit or wire up your own LEDs? If you did the wiring yourself how did you do it?

Thanks in advance mate and awesome work

look's like topgears unbreakable Toyota,

Thanks Guys, The lights are small LEDs that I got from Jaycar,
You can see the battery box in the back with a built in switch.
The batteries were nearly flat when I took these pics.
If you look into the beams with good batteries you can't see for a week!
Cheers.

Crap paint, Shoey.... Really does look like the Top Gear ute, very cool. Brillant weathering too.

Thanks mate, will pick some up from Jaycar this weekend

Cool, but make sure you get the small bulbs, I think they are
about 3 Volts, 2 AA batteries will do the trick.
They sell the battery box with a built in switch too.
I got 4 bulbs runnig from 2 AAA's

Thanks Shoey Would I be able to run tail-lights off of the same battery pack or will it not have enough juice?

Should run ok, 2x AAA runs 4 bulbs easy, another 2 bulds wont hurt.
