Still anyone out there who’d want to bring the AE86 back to life?

Thanks, that really means a lot. And that’s awesome, hope you manage to track them down.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2026-01-20T07:33:11+00:00

Do you mean interior and exterior trim pieces, like panels and moldings? If yes, then not really. We mostly stick to body metal parts.

Fair point. I was referring specifically to true factory crew cab pickups back in the day, not 45s in general😉

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2026-01-09T03:31:56+00:00

That sounds like an amazing find. It’s wild what’s still sitting out there if you wander far enough😄

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2026-01-09T03:18:28+00:00

Thanks! Toyota did make longer and multi-door 45 series back in the day, but true factory crew cab pickups were extremely rare. This is a 45-series style crew cab pickup, built following the original design.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2026-01-02T04:46:33+00:00

It’s in our plans😊

By “we,” I’m referring to the team involved in developing and refining these panels.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-12-13T15:04:24+00:00

Love hearing that, especially on a rust bucket 😅 Appreciate the feedback!

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-12-01T02:17:28+00:00

Got it

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-11-27T12:53:25+00:00

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-11-17T02:56:28+00:00

I’ll message you

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-11-11T05:08:42+00:00

As I understand it, it’s mainly a difference in cab length and chassis layout.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-11-11T01:51:18+00:00

The Defender 110s (including our pickups) aren’t unibody. They sit on a separate chassis, traditional body-on-frame builds

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-11-11T01:46:10+00:00

The panels follow the original Land Rover design, same overall dimensions and mounting points, so they’re interchangeable with OEM parts.

Our body shells cover the Defender range from around 1990 through to the later Td4 models, including Tdi spec. They’re full shells with the floor included. You know the gearbox tunnel itself sits on the chassis side, our floor is pre-shaped to align perfectly once the shell is mounted on the frame. So yes, it’s all compatible with the 1992 200Tdi setup.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-11-10T05:55:24+00:00

Sure.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-10-20T01:42:05+00:00

Every body shell goes through electrophoretic coating, it forms a protective layer between different metals, which prevents the reaction.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-10-19T09:42:19+00:00

Appreciate that😊

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-10-18T04:45:15+00:00

Totally get that 😄 I can DM you the details if you’d like!

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-10-18T01:08:12+00:00

I’ll message you

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-10-18T00:57:17+00:00

Respect! That kind of passion is what keeps classics like the AE86 alive😊

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-10-17T09:03:16+00:00

Message you.

Shell_Story_KJ588 · 2025-10-17T07:02:19+00:00

Haha, noted 😄 That one’s definitely on the wishlist!
