    Hey, I'm Andrew from North Carolina. Just got my first toyota, an 84 pickup, last week and I'm looking forward to having something to fix up as I go through the automotive program at my local community college.

    The site has already been a good source of information for me and hopefully I'll be able to come here for more help as I already know I'll need it.

    Pictures; not the best but I only had my phone at the time.

    Anyway, I picked it up last week for $250. The body has some rust but the frame and engine look pretty good. Its a little hard to tell because the pictures are from before I washed it with the hose. There was so much red clay on it I turned the entire driveway red and still didn't get it all off. Will need to get a steam cleaner or pressure washer.

    ATM, I'll be happy to just get it running. Long term I'll at least rebuild the engine, already have an 20r head and intake coming.
