that white paint job is nice mate! how much did it cost ya?

Thanks mate, I am glad u like it, what colour is yours?
I did it myself and I bought a cheap air compressor and spraygun to do it.

With the aircompressor and all about $800 and some farken long days.
The paint, as i said before, is pure white so it only costs $65 for 4L (which it a fark load of paint, i used about 6L) and no colour matching needed when I bend pannels!!! (not thant any of us like bending pannels)

It's not bad for my first go at spraying, i reckon.

Regards,
Nick

you will prolly need to replace all the seals in the knuckles a seal kit costs around $110 for both sides and should only take a day or so to do.
Not a very big task as long as you have a few tools. Might be worth doing the wheel bearings at the same time thats about another $50 a side for bearings.

here is a desc from a US website

i did the seals in my hilux it took about 6hrs to do

Christ! How long were you asleep for??

Only rust in mine was at the bottom of the drivers door (hadn't gone right through) and at the roof gutter join above the driver door.

it's not too late to stock up on spares. you can use them when your cv grenades.
