«The surge idea for a client, a client who is trying to restore the Land Cruiser pero, a su vez, anhelaba disfrutarlo, o sea, poder conducirlo, pasear, ir de un lado a otro sin ningún Problem, sin sentir lo incomodo que son los carros de esos aos, es decir, con suspension dura, tecnología ahora obsoleta » , dijo Cárcamo in first instance.
An enormous challenge, no doubt, and even in principle the ideas of comrades eran a lot of confusions, little by little all form, the mind is clear and the project advances to agitating steps.
«The one who hicimos would follow one Hilux 2015 and we use the chassis, including the suspension and the direction, and also the engine. To incorporate the old car we need to make modifications, then, the Land Cruiser solo cabin cabin, for the dimensions of the Hilux chassis for a cabin and media, the way the manufacturers have an extra part of the cabin to FJ45. “The people who quarrel because of what we do will do so in the future, because we need to surpass the need and the hiccups,” Humberto commented.
Difficult pieces to find

The pieces of the FJ are practically not found. Treating procuration that the Mayoria fuese originals, varios months transcurrieron without power advance as querían. The interior of ‘Fusion’ is more than 40 years old. Its gray tones give it a spectacular touch of elegance.
“It’s very difficult, because these cars are not sold. The parts are mandarin to tear from United States, and those we do not find, we know that manufacturers, for that reason that a little restoration will take place«, Dio a conocer el interviste.
From ahí, the rest, ensemble, electrical system, painting and painting, ensétera, fue cosa easy. ‘Fusion’ is 100% functional, y su dueño, fascinated with the result, pues el trabajo de los muchachos superó sus expectativas. The good one hopes, and two years, the value of the pen completely.
“It’s a very good customer, because only we have the idea and we will take care of it tomorrow, or at sea, we do not know where we are going to take it or not.” Fue puro ingenio de nosotros, creativity nuestra. We have a profile of two, we are looking for things that we create that we like, “Humberto said.
