Much has been done in the last few weeks. The new leather seat upholstery kit has been installed on the front and back seats. We are waiting for the jump seats to be delivered for work. The new jute underlayment and gray capet kit has been installed. We have also installed the new stereo. We found that the old stereo was in very very poor condition with just tweeter speakers used for the front speaker system.....rather odd. It sounds fantastic now! The new windshield glass has been installed to. Next we will be installing a new front ARB Bull Bar!

We have been working on this Cruiser for a few weeks and are finally getting around to posting all the videos we have captured! This 80 Series Land Cruiser will be painted in full the original color, dark green. We will also be installing an Old Man Emu Suspension system as well as an ARB Bull Bar. We might even install Upholstery and Carpet at the customer's request. Watch as we transform this tired 80 into a fresh looking Land Cruiser.
