Advice to maniacs. - Toyota Land Cruiser, 3.0L, 1978
Advice: if you are going to restore old equipment, immediately decide what level of originality of restoration you want to achieve.
Otherwise, any problem or nuance of recovery will cause the need for deep reflection on the meaning and practicality of what you are doing.

which immediately raised the bar for restoration work to a level akin to the Olympic one. I must say that I ordered this emblem even before the acquisition of my forty, and to my delight, it was found and ... lost (or simply stolen) in the logistics process. Had to order again.
And so she came ...
By that time, I already had a set of nameplates from Land Cruiser from different years
But I wanted everything to be exactly as in the years of release. And I succeeded:
Yes, completely original restoration is always a huge work, a lot of time, nerves and money. But then a lot of joy!
Thanks. There were many people who, after such badges, began to get sick with something similar.
The photo shows both with standard wheels, and a little more.
Now stand 32x12x15
Yeah, nameplates are a disease! I am glad that I am not alone with it. Now I'll go to the garage, take a picture of mine and lay it out. It's a pity that there is not enough space on the car ... but I want to hang so much;)
In the last photo, just a dream did not find in Primorye Tayota curled on board 40 ki
Yes, this is from the 7th series, exactly. But many forties travel with the same: either they put what they got during the restoration, or ... But according to the catalog there are only such as in the 3 penultimate photos.
