Toyota tacoma frame-up build-up.

[Gundie's]

Ok, so i sent my '98 tacoma to the local tech school as a project for the graduating class to work on. The instructor assured me that it would be done on time (by june 16), and said that it would be a fun easy project. This was over a month ago. I got a call on wednesday of last week saying that they couldn't fix the left inner fender and left hand A-pillar, and that I should just pick up my truck. I was relatively pissed off then, and it only got worse when I picked up my pile of parts that used to be my truck.

Pictures are in chronological order from before I sent it to the tech school until completion at 9:30 tonight.

as you can see from the pic above, I fixed the left inner fender. (1.5 hours of work). I spent 8 hours sorting nuts and bolts that were thrown into a coffee can, pulling out the inner-fender and straightening the a- pillar on saturday.

the next set of pics is of today (sunday). 5 hours spent fitting all the pieces together and fixing the tech college's ripped spot welds.

Last pic. This is the supposedly "unrepairable" area.
Not a bad fit for my limited ammount of time (13 hours total)

What tech collage couldn't do that...? You know the old saying.. those that can't do.. teach.

Bellingham tech college. The Automotive Technology instructors are very good, but the body shop instructor is an idiot! :wtf:
