I guess the good news is you can always do the same thing with a quart of monstaliner to touch it up in the future. You just have to do the same prep to monstaliner that you do to clearcoat.

I might if I am already painting, like color matching a trailer or something. Otherwise, it is just fine.
Wow. Nice work Sean
Wasted my morning at Sears getting them to replace my battery plus running some other errands. Came home, installed the battery and fired her up. Turned it around so I could work in the garage. Installed the headlights, corner lights, and turn/strobe lights. It took twice as long as it should have. It's all done though. I will have to wait until I reinstall the rear bumper to aim the headlights. It is quite the stink bug without any weight back there.

It's coming together nicely Sean.
Did your turn signal/strobe harness fail on you? I thought they still worked on tow off the beach.
One was completely saturated in oil. So much so that some poured out when I took the tape off. The plastic on the relay looked a little weird so I tossed it. The drivers side wasn't in horrible shape but I replaced it anyway. I had one of the new ones short out when I don't encapsulated it with hot glue. Had to melt it away until I found and corrected it. These should be good to go for quite some time.
Also, thanks for the kind words. This has been a hell of a project. It will be at least a few more months to get back to what it was. It gave me a chance to fix some lingering issues and to make it a better vehicle.
Sean, kudos to you and Lexi for all the hard work! It's like having an old friend back.
She's been an amazing help!
Last night I took a night off. Tonight I got the Lightforces installed, grill installed, cargo hatch door panel installed, as well as the third brake light and the spoiler. Tomorrow I am hoping to start tackling the wire thru the firewall and the aux fuse box.
The last few days have seen the rear bumper installed and tonight I got the swingouts reinstalled.
Tonight I made a new license plate light. The old one was half dead and a POS.

These are the waterproof connectors I am using. They are nearly identical to the Toyota OEM connectors.

Tomorrow I swap out the Cat and start to reassemble the interior. YAY!!
