I'm seriously worried that TH-cam is reading my mind....only yesterday i was driving through the Lakes and there was a very clean looking Fourtrack parked at the side of the road, same blue as yours, then today this appears in my recommendations ......glad it did, great video, all the best with the project.
..... and that kids is how Johnny got the nickname "Mad Johnny!" Kudos for pushing on with the project, it is certainly light years ahead of my skill set. 👍
Great going Johnny! Really impressed by how patiently you're handling this rust job. It's definitely going to pay off at the end. Really excited for this project.
You're a brave man Johnny but thanks for taking on such a mammoth task as it's going to be fascinating as well as educational to watch... keep up the good work dude 👌
Hi Simon, thanks very much! There is a guy on eBay selling repair panels but they are incredibly expensive so be warned! If you search for ‘Daihatsu Fourtrak repair panels’ you will see the range that he has. Hope that helps!
Hey Kip, there are some panels available but only from one private manufacturer and therefore prices are astronomical for comparably simply panels. With that being the case and the fact that much of the rot that needs repairing here will be hidden from view when finished, I’m more than happy to fabricate the pieces needed. This also gives me the opportunity to amend the design a little and try to reduce the inherent ’mud traps’ that lead to these trucks rusting out so frequently!
It’s on the way, but given the sheer amount of work being done and also filming / editing several other videos, it’s taking a while to get it out , but it is coming!
Sorry! Take my advice...if you don't need to remove your arches - don't! Nothing good awaits you there! But in all seriousness, if you have concerns and you love the truck enough (or are mad enough), anything can be fixed - as i will hopefully go on to prove in this series!

Thanks Pete, I think I’ll have earned a nickname like that when this is all done and dusted 😂

Thanks very much! It’s going to be a big fight but I’m confident I can bring this one back better than ever!
She is in a bad way mate, it's great your bringing her back, great work.
Thanks Dave - we’ll get there!
Nice update on the Fourtrak. It’s taking shape.
Baby steps at the moment but when a project is so massive I find that’s the only way to stay motivated and keep moving!

Brave chap. Please show the repairs before paint.
Will do!
Wow that’s a big ol rusty job there! How come you don’t use repair panels? Are they just not about for this old girl?

Genuinely looks like hell 😂
Nothing like a bit of a challenge 😂
