So after spending most of Sunday polishing metal and nowhere near finished.
I decided to put together my Toyota Hilux as it stands. a. To see what bits I’m missing. b. See what bits aren’t any good. c. Work out what fixings I need to order. d. It was a good excuse to build it. The gear box got rebuilt properly and missing bits made or improvised. The spring in a ball point pen worked wonders. I’ve still got the radio box to put together. I was thinking of using an 80’s Demon electronic speed control to keep it period. At least until I get an original speed controller. In my big haul of bits I’ve acquired I’ve got a lexan windscreen. So I will see if it will fit. A bit of a risk, but then I could put the interior in to really finish it off.

Hi, I’ve actually had that from about 1982 / 83.
Basically when the Hilux came out someone used the original shell added the cab and produced a small quantity. It was featured in one of the model car magazines of the day. I bought it from a brilliant model shop in Windsor. It went on a Ford Ranger chassis at the time, but I have always wanted to put it on the correct chassis. Now after all this time it’s getting close. Thanks for the interest in this.

Apologies I replied, but stupidly not in this thread. See further down. I’m surprised I haven’t seen one on the site. I guess only available in the UK and a small run ? |
