81 toyota

Picked this guy up about a year ago, and have fixed things as I have had time and money, have had one since high school, and it used to be perfectly strait, and over the years turned into a wheeler and wasn't able to legally drive it any more, missed driving one so I found this and wanted to fix it up to daily drive it.

-went through entire wiring harness, and fixed everything to work like stock and correctly
-went through everything on the motor and running gear
-took a long to find all the original interior dash parts to make it look all stock
-and after everything was reliable I painted it to clean it up and finish her off

So happy to see people keeping these stock and bringing them back to glory days. Also you got an 82. 81 was last year of the round lights

cant find a picture of the motor after being clean up, will have to take another

Still a few little things to tweek on, but for the most part its fun to drive one again =)

I hate toyo's, but they where cheap and the size I was looking for at the time for some rollers, I will end getting some irocks or bfg's
