Tired Toyota pickup truck needed some love lots of pics

[Chris Shades]

I picked up this 1987 Toyota truck from the 2nd owner and it looked like it had been siting for a while. Its running condition is GREAT! and the paint was not in to bad of shape just needed a little attention. There was some rust on the front bumper that I sanded down a bit and resprayed with rustoleom spray paint. The owner also threw in a roll bar that was rusty and not in the best looking shape. The paint was treated with TR-3 resin glaze that I picked up at pep boys for about $7. I have never used this product before but it worked wonders for my truck. Heres some pictures of what the truck looked like when I puchased it and the some more of the result of my project.

Chris Shades- Hey,that`s a nice turnaround :xyxthumbs



The TR-3 Resin Glaze is still around huh? A friend of mine used that stuff back in the `70s!

[Chris Shades]

Thanks dude! Yep Tr-3 is still around. Originally I was going to try some Chemical guys EZ creme glaze first but I ran out of product from other projects. I remember seeing this Tr-3 at pep boys and I had wanted to try it before so I picked up a can and went to work. Im stoked with the results and plan to use it again on future projects!

Amazing for a 23 year old truck!
