81 toyota

Toyota_corey · Oct 2, 2013

Picked this guy up about a year ago, and have fixed things as I have had time and money, have had one since high school, and it used to be perfectly strait, and over the years turned into a wheeler and wasn't able to legally drive it any more, missed driving one so I found this and wanted to fix it up to daily drive it.

-went through entire wiring harness, and fixed everything to work like stock and correctly
-went through everything on the motor and running gear
-took a long to find all the original interior dash parts to make it look all stock
-and after everything was reliable I painted it to clean it up and finish her off
