We got the brake lines and a temperary drag link on today just to get it around the garage. The plan is to keep it cheap and beat the piss out of it. We've got alot of leftover parts from previous builds so its getting a 22r, 5sp,and case from an '85(harness, computer, and possibly pedal ass.). and I picked up another top shift today. All for free
 
:D In the end it should be a $250 sami built from spare Toyota leftover parts. Hopefully with duel cases if can figure how to make it work. Exocage new paint and bodywork to make it look pretty once, then wheel the **** out of it, roll it on the rocks and see how far it can fly at the sand dunes.
 
Well works been a little slow do to my real job. But got a w56 Toyota tranny, A second case for the duel cases, 93 Toyota power steering box and pump, EFI head and more to still come.

Got the motor bolted up to the tranny but I put the mounts for the motor are welded in the wrong spot on the frame so I have to move them.

Good build. You should be happy with it. I have a few pointers if your interseted. I have done 5 of these swaps and doing another right now.

Drilled holes in the frame to sleeve to bolt the cross member to the frame.
