Old Toyota Fortuner Type 1 Luxury SUV Converted Into Latest Generation Legender [Video]
In order to turn in more profits, automakers have to continuously update and facelift their popular cars. However, most of the time, their old cars are just as reliable, especially in the case of Toyota. In India, one of the most popular and reliable SUVs that money can buy is the Toyota Fortuner, and it has been out since 2009. Even today, in 2024, the first-generation Type 1 Fortuners are still going strong, and a number of owners, instead of selling them, are doing something different. These owners are now opting to go for a facelift with aftermarket body kits, and recently, a video of one such Type 1 Fortuner conversion into a Legender has been shared online.
This particular video of a Type 1 Toyota Fortuner’s conversion into a Rs 55 lakh Legender has been shared on YouTube by Autorounders.

It specializes in conversions, full-body repaints, interior customizations, and mechanical work for popular and luxury cars in India.

Conversion Process
In this video, the owner of the shop firstly shows the Type 1 Fortuner in its before condition. He mentions that for this model of the SUV, they offer numerous types of conversions. He states that customers can either go for restoration, Type 2 conversion, Type 2 with Lexus kit conversion, Legender, and their in-house Spartan kit as well. He adds that this particular car has come for a conversion into half Legender.

After explaining all of the things, the car is then shown getting disassembled and getting prepared for bodywork. Next up, it goes into the paint booth for a complete respray from white to black. Following this, the car comes out, and it gets polished, and the fitment of new parts starts. Lastly, the car is shown getting fitted with all-new black leather seat covers and interior pieces.

At last, the owner of the shop shows the final product which they have created. He mentions that, as he mentioned earlier, this conversion is a half Legender conversion as they have not changed the entire C-pillar of the car to make it look like a Legender. He elaborates that they avoid doing that modification as it is very expensive and it hampers the structural integrity of the car, as pillars are important structural components. The owner of the shop, however, adds that they currently do have two complete Legender conversions which they will be showing soon.
