    Just wanted to stop in and introduce my self. I am completely new to the Toyota mini world. I ran across my particular 93 when my older brother ( who runs a small mechanic shop ) called and said he has a customer with a decent little truck for sale. First questions were. What kind, what year and how much? He stated that it was a little 92-93 Toyota pickup and the guy wanted $800. As far as the running condition, he said it was fine so I took his word for it and bought it sight unseen. Before I made the trip down to the shop to pick it up. I had my brother do a emissions test. It passed with flying colors. Next, I went down, hopped in and drove it 45 mins home with under a quarter tank of gas :D. After I got it home I started looking it over a little bit. Just needs the normal maintenance of a 20 year old truck with a 22-RE.

    Now, I am no stranger to building cars at all. My current BIG project is a 1961 Impala Bubbletop that currently resides on a Rotisserie down in my shop ( I have a build thread on it at a couple of different forums ) As far as the pickup goes I bought primarily for a economical means of transportation but as we all know that is changing fast. Especially with all the Mods, Swaps and upgrades available, which I have already started on. With all that being said, I look forward to sharing my Simple daily project with all you and hopefully can gain some useful knowledge about the truck.

    Pics will come tomorrow or sunday! Its cold and dark outside and I haven't taken any pics of the truck yet. I didn't think I would be joining a Yota Forum and starting a build thread, until recently ( I bought to be a stock daily ) Boy, how that's changed. That's it for the introduction. I guess it's time to start a build thread.
