So, let me get right into what i have been working on, every Saturday morning at my buddies house from 8 am to 12 pm, since i was 14 years old. I have been working on a 1975 toyota pickup 2.2L 20R engine with the stock 2WD in the rear. It is now my daily driver that gets to me to and from my part time job and anywhere else fairly close in town. My "Buddy", more like a brother, had a number of cars out by his shop basically just rotting away. Because he was a Mechanic and a Machinist by trade for pretty long period of time, he thought it would be a cool idea to let me pick a vehicle and teach me how to break down and rebuild a vehicle from scratch. Obviously, out of all the cars and trucks he had, i picked the 75 toyota, and here we are. There is a bunch of other details i could throw into the mix, but that is a pretty good overview of the story behind this build.Interact
