Hello, Everybody!!
First timer here, first forum, first post. :!:
I have a 1988 Hilux 2.4 diesel, 4 door, 4x4 from japan. It was imported to canada and I bought it here.
I would like to do a body job, with a spray on bedliner. Am looking for rear bed sides, trying to eliminate the rust in the joint behind the rear wheel.
Does anyone know where I can get body parts, or what to do?
Help I am one of only a few in Canada that have one of these and any help/info is much appreciated!

Re: Hilux body panels
Hi Spike,
Welcome to the forum!
Acquiring body parts in Canada might be a bit of a problem, but probably not impossible. It might be easier, however, for a Panel Beater to cut out the badly affected parts and refabricate new ones at the rust points. It can be dome, depending on the P.B.'s skills.
Otherwise, not sure if they would be available in the States or not, but, as always, transportation becomes a problem.

Re: Hilux body panels
Hi, Mike. Welcome to the forum. This place is a wealth of knowledge and I'm sure you'll get all the advice you need. Post some pics of your Lux so we can get an idea of how close it is to what we have here - I also have a '88. While you're at it, tell us some more about it too - mods, plans, etc?
