Lime green is so early 90's, have they come back???? To each there own :}LOL
Other than color, it looks great, I would have gone hunter green!!!! Guess I'm just plain :}LOL, Well anyway good luck on the paint coming out without any flaws. Great job repairing it after both the wreak and blown HG!!!! I too like the seat mod, I too for my 93DLX will be looking for buckets for mine!!!!

matt92yota

haha thanks man, lime green may be "early 90's" but i was born then and it happens to be my favorite color so it fits me perfect
And i was actually considering hunter green for awhile, but where i live it seems that everybody and their mother has a dark green toyota so i decided to be different lol

john4wd

Hey bud to each there own, makes us different, or be boring fracking world, I still hope it comes out great for you :}

I do like the lime green on hubs and drums :}

matt92yota

today's progress:







the picture really doesn't show the color that well, maybe due to the crappy lighting and using a cell phone camera. but it looks amazing in person, i will put up a better pic tomorrow!

Is that a Kawasaki green! but you have that Honda sticker on your center console.

matt92yota

haha its close, honda is my preference but kawi's aren't bad bikes either

john4wd

Ya that is lime green!!!! :}LOL It looks smooth and flawless, great job!!!!

matt92yota

haha yes it is And thanks man, i wish i could take credit for it but it was my dad that did all the painting, i just did the bodywork lol

matt92yota

i got so busy today i forgot to take a picture of the cab out in the sun, but heres another crappy cell phone pic to make up for it lol:

john4wd

WOW, your dad is a great painter, What's going on? It's been 6 days since last post, is it all back together? I guess I was wrong somewhat, I was thinking lime green would be like neon type lime green from early 90's I hated with a passion and refused to get into that crap, but yours is not so bad, I would break it up with some chrome or black accents on other item so to take away from too much lime green.

On pimp my ride rerun I saw last night, they did a 2 tone white top area and lime green bottom on an VW bus and it looked awesome, so lime green not that bad!!!!

Lets see some put together pics...

matt92yota

naw not back together yet, the weather got nasty towards the end of the week here and this weekend i had to do a tune up on my papa's 97 tacoma prerunner. i've worked on it a little today so paint should be finished tomorrow and put back together by the end of the week hopefully. I've got some chrome trim to go on the fenders and my cousin works at a printing shop so im gonna get him to make me some decals for the truck as well. And i also have a surprise project for the truck that i will reveal when she is all put back together

john4wd

I love surprises, can't wait :}

I teased people about my score off of Craigslist and then later posted my ARB bumper after I mounted it and just surprised them all, It was fun and a little mean, but worth it :}LOL
