LJ71 2.4Efi Auto. Am delighted with it! Needed a little tidying up.....so I stripped out the carpets & used Protectacote instead!

The centre console was beyond saving! Now.....I'm sure no 'Ish' from West Coast Customs.....but to be fair, it does go round the gearstick!  :wink:

Towing the truck home had me grinning from ear to ear! Don't ask 'cos I don't know....but everytime I look at the thing it makes me smile!  :azn:

So...I named it Jester!  :ner:

Now...what colour could I paint a truck named Jester that matches my shy, quiet & retiring personality  :undecided:

Disclaimer....if bad paint ain't your thing & excessive use of stickers to hide runs offends...turn away!  :rolleyes:

Now....rumour has it I may have run out of green paint & as such the bonnet may not be the best! & rumour also has it that I ran out of orange for the roof & may have used some yellow to finish.....

But how these rumours came about I have no idea  :wink:
