4x4 Indonesia

Unfortunately, I sold my Toyota when I married and moved to Batam Island to work there. But in 1989 I bought another Toyota L/C, year 1976, canvas top (softop) and brought it in to Batam. That has become my legendary car and I'm trying not to sell it. With some friends, I popularized an offroad wheeling event in Batam in 1990.

I used that car until 2000 and after that since I was very busy with my job, just put it in store at my friends place. But unlucky, he did not keep my car in one piece, some parts ware stolen or missing.

In 2004, I decided to rebuild my car, since it had almost become scrap. It's difficult to rebuild, since we are in Batam and do not have a workshop to do that. Lucky, my company where I work for, has a automotive division just to maintain all the company cars. I asked them to at least find a mechanic & body repair mechanic. Since I don't have a technical educational background, I always discuss everything that I want to do with my car.

The body repair, exchange all the body with 4 pcs steel plate with the original design. Since I used new plate, when it finished, I put a "soundproof" (because it is always used by the audio insulator) to all the inside body, just to make the body plate last longer.

Finally, with almost 2 years work, I finished my project, rebuilding the 1976' Toyota LandCruiser.
