hey so i just got a job that should be paying pretty well. This means i can start saving up for the body work on my 4runner (the rear quater panels). So i want to know what everyone did to get their body work done.

As of right now the plan is to save up for fiberglass fenders from www.toyotafiberglass.com and get these:
http://www.toyotafiberglass.com/4runner.htm. but those cost $218 each, plus shipping. this is a lot of money. so what did everyone else do?

oh yeah here is what im working with...

I spend $30 and painted over it!

Fiberglass on a trail rig fender will eventually crack/snap/bust. Just use whatcha got and cut away the metal you don't want. That is what I'm doing...going to trim front and rear fenders, get rid of the tailgate and hardtop and eventually exo cage the rest...then who will care.

Usually you'll get a better deal and a better job from someone who works for a body shop by day and moonlights by night! Ask around...

 

waskilly i dont know what id do without you. i think if i just cut all the rust off the back, id have a flat bed, thats how much rust there is... hmm a flat bed 4runner kinda cool but i cant do that. i think i am going to start asking around for body work. if i save some money i might be able to catch up to you in mods (one day)

 

i just got the quote from toyotafiberglass.com, its guna cost me $658, this includes everything shipping, crate, everything.

... i dont what im going to do now, this is a lot.

 

thats is a lot even if you get the fiberglass fenders they are still going to need work. Im going to be painting both of my 1st gen runners. doing bodywork on the 84 now look for a thread soon

 

What does that quote include?

I'm doing body work on mine, cutting the rust out w/ a sawzall and tubbing the fender wells after doing some trimming! My big dent on the passenger rocker panel, some of it gets cut out w/ the fender trim, but the rest is staying there. Rust is one thing, dents are another...rust is bad, dents aren't.

 

that price includes everything. i write the check for that amount and they come to my door. too bad i dont think ill be doing this now.

 

Everything what? What parts? Labor? What exactly does that include fixing/replacing?

 

here ill show you the email...
