oh dam man, glad your ok

 

well I took some more pics so I'm gonna post em'

 

More.

 

Looking good already. How much did your insurance company give you? or are you having to dish out your own money? won't be long till your cruising the streets again.

 

looking better . . .

Hey man, looking better already, damage looks like its going to be semi-easy to repair and I dont really see alot of bondo having to be done at all ! Great job ! Do you need a ( ext. cab window ) ? Looks like you are all ready for the bag setup to begin, cant wait to see pics !

L o w N l o u d

 

Yes I do need that window. I'm probably gonna start bagging it tomorrow or something. not sure yet. just need to break out the plasma cutter and go to town on it. Oh and the insurance co. didn't give me anything. this has all had to be done out of pocket. which sucks ass. but what can ya do? After I get it bagged I'm probably gonna go take it somewhere to have the body work finished. I'm about half ass with body filler and I want it to look good. And I've gotta chave that damn door handle and the antenna again! I guess I just get more practice. lol

 

How do those stud gun things work,never used one,but looks like they do a good job. And where do you get them?

 

they work like small tact on a stick...

 

it's just a small stud that you put in the tip of the gun, and the tip is spring loaded. you put the stud in the tip and push it down on the metal and hold the button for 1 second and it's on there. If you hold it down longer than a second the it will burn a hole through the metal. Than you just take the slide hammer and pull it out like normal. But I got mine at Harbor Freight, it was on sale for like $94 last weekend and it came with 3 tips, 3 different size studs, 100 of each size, and the slide hammer. Not a bad deal and it works very well!

 

Ok, well it's about time I post some more pictures, I haven't really done much at all. I bought a 4runner 2 weeks ago and i've been messing with it a bit. But HOPEFULLY I will get around to bagging it tomorrow or sometime this week or something but like I said HOPEFULLY. But here are some more pictures of some of the small things that I have done to it, not much but it's something

My Dear friend the plasma cutter!

good work man. how did the door get so screwed up? good luck with the repairs and bag job.

 

the guy pulled it out backwards and it was up against a camaro that was flipped up on it's side, so thats how 90% of the damage was done.

 

well, I got the front bagged today, now I've just gotta put it back together and run the air lines.maybe I'll post some pics tomorrow.

 

i love reconstructive surgery that makes it better than b4
