I've made a basic outline for the build. I included the part numbers and a running budget. The total budget for returning to OEM is 10-20k. After that I think could spend a lot more on accessories easily but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Any feedback about "while you are in there" projects that should be completed are appreciated.

IN!

Blue parachute!

Have fun - you'll get lots of help on Mud.

Sold my 80 a couple years ago now - have a 100 which is better suited to my usage but really enjoyed the 80. It will last longer than you will.

Hell yeah!

Thats a very agreesive schedule. Paint month doesnt seem realistic

I think you are probably correct, but it's good to have goals right? I'm really hoping to get it to expo west this year.

Hell yes.

Making a big push right now to have it mostly done by August.

Getting the interior ready. Inside is stripped out and secondskin sound deadening put in. Running some wires for a potential future speaker upgrade.

The headliner and all plastic/vinyl panels are at an upholstery shop getting detailed and re-dyed to an oem color.

Seat cushions are being replaced with OEM and new Landcruiser heaven leather being put on. Also putting in the LCH seat heater kit and new leather for the armrests/console.

Dash is being sent off to "just dashes" in Arizona to have the old foam/vinyl removed and replaced.

New carpet kit (stock interior ultra plush pile with mass backing) being installed by the same upholstery shop.

Doing some misc things like installing stainless wits end hardware kits.

Also placed some orders:
- all new seals everywhere (windshield, doors, windows, back door/glass, fixed glass, sunroof, etc).
- new exterior trim including gutters (sourced from local dealer to avoid 400 dollar fright shipping), new 24K package gold emblems (PITA to source and I think I'm the only one who likes them). Misc parts like battery holder and all of the clips I broke.
- OME 2" suspension system with steering dampener. BFG KO tires x 5

Plan for the next few months:
June- finish interior
July- taking time painter on June 29, hoping they finish by Aug 20.
August- driving this to Colorado
Sept- power steering pump/axels
Oct- brake system overhaul, caliper rebuild, sell E92 M3 and make this my new daily.

I found a good paint shop about 45 min outside of town after going to about 5 shops. The paint will cost almost as much as the car but will be a good quality job. They are taking off all of the trim, doors, hold, glass and willl replace all of the seals with the new ones I just ordered. They are also painting the hubcaps and OEM bumpers. I want to keep it red but a little different from stock. Right now I'm going between a few options but am open to suggestions. Tesla signature red, Mercedes firemist red, Porsche arena red, Land Rover burgundy.

I agree with deadciv. Can't wait to see this thing.

The shop is finishing out primer and sanding Windows are all out. Painting and reassembling on Monday/Tuesday. Right now I'm trying to choose between two different versions of Porsche arena red and a slightly darker version of the oem color. After this it's a half day in the tint shop, half day getting suspension, tires, and alignment, then finally one week at the interior shop for reassembly. Hope to have it done by the end of August/early sept.

Middle color looks best to me (at least via iPhone screen)

Bottom 2 are similar. Either one works for me.

You might check out Porsche Carmon Red. It's close to the paint samples you show.

Paint it Moonglow or
Antique Sage Pearl or Cement
Voodoo Blue would be unique as well


I would use a Toyota Color, but it's your baby

Agreed. Keep it a teq color.

Disagree, paint it the color you most like. Be unique, be you.

Where did you get the Secondskin mat? Did it come as a kit or just buy it by the sq. ft.? Also, where did you source your carpet?

I'm a few months behind you, but starting a similar project. I'll be interested in how you like your paint shop when they're done. I'll also be asking you for you list of seals and exterior trim when I get closer to paint.

Secondskin had a Black Friday sale with about 25% off I believe. 120 sq feet was plenty for the floor, wheel wells, and front doors.

I got the ultra plush mass backed carpet from stock interiors and I'm happy with the quality but will hold a final judgement until it's installed.

This is my last parts order that included all of the seals and external trim (except the gutters sourced though a dealer). The trim parts and seals (including fixed windows, windshield, and sunroof) were about 2k from Norwalk Toyota.

Also had it painted in Porsche arena red with some of the purple subtracted. Very happy with the result.

At first I was like ehhhhh
But now I'm like yeahhhhh

I love that paint. Fantastic!

that's beauty

What a find - talk about being in the right place at the right time. Beautiful

Updates??

Truck looks great. Especially love that colour.

Now you just need to get your neighbour to work on that fence.

Need an update with pics!

This is a mid 90s?

Cool rig. Always liked them.

Surprised you didn't color match the bumpers. Looks cool though.
