    This is my $250 Toyota Pickup! Thanks again for everyone who helped me make the decision to buy it! One of the best purchases ever! Here are some pictures from October.

    UPDATED PART TWO 1983 Toyota Pickup

    OK....a few bumps with getting the car running again (distributor wire) and having issues with master & slave cylinder presumably from sitting from almost two years. After I overcame those issues, I decided to repaint the truck! Using the "Poor Man's Paint Job" / "$50 paint job" I was able to paint it for fairly cheap!
