Well my name is Anthony and im a South African that is now in NZ and rebuild toyota Hilux double cabs as a hobby. i finished my hilux that i have now. but the one now is getting modified to the max if everything allows me. i have just finished rebuilding the lexus V8 for it and got the new chassis for it and gear box. the cab had a frontal and in the history it said the guy was cut out reason being why the left B pillar ain’t there
