Re: Henrique's Jurassic Land Cruiser #26 - Almost there
Then the door decals came back, this time smaller.
And that makes the car COMPLETED. Phew! Almost 4 years of work and money saved.

Re: Henrique's Jurassic Land Cruiser #26 - Almost there
I added some smaller decals.
"Who doesn't have a road, have a Toyota" "From 0 to 100 km/h in 15 minutes"
"I may get later, but I go further"
Two messages to all impatient drivers who meet me on the road "What was far, became near. What was impassable was crossed. And the world became smaller. Land Cruiser" "Yours is the car of the year. Mine is the car of the century." That's a parody with a Brazilian famous dinosaur from comic books, Horácio. That was based on this. That was based on this.

I loved seeing the Bandeirante used for a JP jeep. My best friend used to have one of those back in the day, says it's one of the best cars he ever had. I especially enjoyed the Horacic Park sticker, I was living in Brazil at the time that comic was released. Brings back good memories.

That's very nice, FiremanSpock, the Bandeirante is a great vehicle, I love it! The Horacic Park (and the 2 sequels) is available on internet also: http://turmadamonica.uol.com.br/quadrinhos

Dirty fuel made me dismount the tank and clean it.
Water came in and burned the rear ligts LED circuit... It is being hard to find the same model again...
The front tire became completely damaged. I had to buy new ones.

I bought a piece of rubber mat and cutted it to protect the vehicle's floor, making my own carpets. I followed the hard top color.

Re: Land Cruiser #26 (COMPLETED) - Building and maintenance
I decided to put back the original air filter. The Apollo K&N filter is good, but it allows the outcome of too much noise from the engine. When I install a turbine, I'll put it back.
I installed a anti-roll bar. That icreased a lot the security when driving.

This is clearly a labor of love. It's great that you have humor in your decals. Too many movie cars are too serious. Well done.
Thank you for reading my auto-signature, the last place on the internet not covered in a ton of advertising.
