    Hi guys,

    I have just discovered this forum and would like to introduce myself ... I collect and restore old Japanese cars and bought my first truck.

    It is a 1973 Hilux (RN10) which came from Angola many years ago and which I am going to restore. Unfortunately, the windscreen has some (bullet??) holes and needs replacing as well as the rear window and a few other bits and pieces.

    I will start a thread of the restore once I get it in my workshop, hopefully sometime in July ...

    I hope some of you will help me out with advice and parts as this truck was not sold here in Portugal, which means that I have to import any parts I need

    This is the way I found it ... unmistakable! :D

    As for future plans, nothing special except a major restore to give it back all it's former glory. I'm a strong defender of originality and engine mods are out of the question in Portugal ... ;)
