Some pictures of the back end, had to wait for bushes, and some bolts from toyota that had gone walkies ? mad







Front end.






This is as far as i can go as im waiting for some nuts and bolts which i will have in a few days. All the hubs are built up with the bearings, ready to go.

It will be rolling and steering in the next day or so, it needs to go back to the body shop for some bits doing that i wasnt happy with. Then put the engine and interior in
Cool

Not done much on the van in the last few weeks Sad
Got the bolts i needed, and once id waited for them to come from japan, i put them on and realised some other nuts and bolts were missing, i must have sent them back, when the bottom arms were refurbed mad
Any way got it rolling and steering, just need to get it off these axle stands without damaging anything big grin
Once back from the paintshop, i wont be stopping until its back together !
A couple of pictures...





Will put some more pictures up ASAP ! big grin
