Damn you make it look easy! What paint did you use on the rear undercarriage/fuel tank?

[@yl_009]

Yuo can liftup the spring and use 13" inch mags and 165 tire or log tire.

As a Japanese, I am glad to see such high grade restoration of the used car, and also decorating the car with a 10 JPY coin😊

I love these little Japanese 4×4 trucks that are so efficient. I absolutely loved watching this video! It has to be one of my top 10 videos of all time.

[@BayCityRestorations]

I really appreciate that! These trucks really are super capable!

[@Aon_Abbas]

I sell these trucks, i have 1 available right now let me know if you are interested in buying 😁

[@KiRiTO72987]

Yeah it's such a shame they can't be sold new in the US I'd much rather have one of these than the regular pickups on the road, much more practical

[@AITF045]

I wish I had the time, money, and space for a project like this. Until I get there, I’ll just dream and watch videos like this one

One of the best videos out there. best definition of show don't tell. no talking just good music and talent

Appreciate you watching!

[@andrewwinterhalter6652]

You and KZbin read my mind. I was thinking a kei truck in midnight purple would look amazing and here it is. Great job! Now I need to build one.

[@1fmiko]

Can tell the effort and love given to the truck in the finished work. Great build

[@BayCityRestorations]

Love it! Im building my minicab in a similar way right now. Interior is fully stripped, and im sanding everything down for paint and collecting parts and making the undercarriage perfect. reupholstery is getting done in the fall, so excited.

Great build! Just bought a 97 Subaru classic but I let someone else do the work as I am not prolific in this world but this made it seem not as overwhelming to tackle.

OMG so much love put into this little kei. Makes me think about whether I should have a go at rejuvenating my Hijet.

[@BayCityRestorations]

It was a fun project but I have to say I had more fun driving it when it wasn’t so nice because I didn’t worry about scratching it or messing something up! I would suggest doing the maintenance stuff like steering bushings, shifter bushings, replace the seats and audio and then just enjoy the heck out of it!

[@TerraMagnus]

@@BayCityRestorations I hear you. I actually do “truck stuff” with my Hijet from time to time and it’s nice to not worry about scratches and dings.

[@cdoublejj]

someone sprayed my dash and plastics like that in my VW, i'm guessing years ago, as that pain is peeling off the plastics so it have patches of 2 shades of gray. i have to think that paint doesn't last or stay on the plastic forever. That fabric idea, is baller.

[@BayCityRestorations]

Plastics have to be painted in a certain way for longevity. If you don’t use an adhesion promoter the paint it will definitely peel over time.

Honestly for a daily they are more fun keeping in their original form so you can just hop in and do whatever you want! You don’t have to worry about scratching the new paint haha!

[@trevormcbride2913]

@@BayCityRestorations yeah true but it’s all chipping and the wheels are scuffed up and the upholstery is tearing. And I would like to do a full mechanical refresh just to make sure it stays reliable and runs well. Maybe one day I’ll get a different daily and can turn it into more of a show piece
