Welcome to the forums, we will help all we can!

Whats your plans for it?

 

Hey man welcome! Really clean looking yota you got there. Cepth for the one dent... but its fixable! Love the flush mount cap. I have always had a thing for those. If i would ge a cap that would be it. Looks good man! Cant wait to hear the plans for it!

Oh and i see your name says hawaiian. You happen to live in Honolulu?

 

nice truck bro, nice and clean to start with other then that body damage good luck on it, read up as mucchhhh as you can before attempting it on your own, you can and will screw it up worse then it is if your dont know what your doing, Im 17 now but I was 16 when I did my body work, check my pics out in my other threads and you will see

Welcome to toyotaminis! Nice to have yet another member eger to roll up his sleves and put his mind to work! Goodluck with the project and remember, you cant do it all right the first time, sometimes you have to make a mistake to learn. . . cant wait 2 c what is next . . .

 

Welcome aboard. If you're anything like we are on this board, be prepared to never have any money in your pockets!!! Where you from? By the looks of the pics, it looks like you might be in San Diego somewhere. Maybe Mira Mesa?

 

welcome!

 

Welcome to the site. My first vehicle was a 1994 toyota 2wd. It is a GREAT first ride. Word of advice, stay away from stupid autozone crap. Take the time to buy QUALITY parts. And watch out for cops! I got 3 speeding tickets my first month of driving my truck!

 

@ work, so i cant see the pics, but welcome. Like everyone said, ask question, theres alot of expericience(sp??) on this board with great members! Best thing to do is first make a plan of what all u want done to the truck. then go that direction..and dont be in a rush to have the truck done. Also start a build thread so you can show us and see how far u come along in say a yr or more!

Agian WELCOME TO TM!

 

Welcome. Congrats on the truck. Nothing beats FREE!

update

just a few things that put in my truck this weekend

new headlights from ebay





some decent condition 4runner bucket seats


and a set of 16" eclipse rims that im not going to put on until i get my 1" spacers

 

lookin good man, whats next?

 

Rims should look pretty sweet! Post a pic when you get your spacers.

 

nice looking truck dude, two questions-1 what did you have to do to put those seats in and do you sit lower or....?

 

thanks, actually i didnt have to do anything the seats bolted right in and i sit about 1-2 inches higher

thanks dude, yea after i put the new wheels on im deffinately gonna repaint it

 

remove your rear bumper... if you wish, i think all mini toys look better without it.

then do the front spindle mount flip....

it looks good so far! good luck

 

Moving along nicely man . . . Keep up the good work!
