Hi guys brand new to this forum! So be nice haha well just 3 days ago I sold my ford f250 84 for $600 and I came across lil toyota 83 for sale for $500 so i bought.
It has a rust problem and etc.. But this is my project truck it drives and runs just fine!! only has 214,xxx miles haha break in point for the 22r engine in it I say!
One picture of the truck so far


But here is the list!
-add stereo system which I've a question about
-Fix the rust issue I will post more pictures tomorrow so you can see.
- Get new front bumper for it.

For the stereo system..
This truck has no wiring harness at all for a cd player at all?? How would I go about to add a stereo system in it? If it has no wire harness for it?

 

more pics of it.

How much do you think it will cost to get the rust on the quarter panel?

 

Welcome!

 

cool truck. i especially like the stylish oil drain pan

 

haha lol.. No oil pain under there.. It was from a wind storm we had here in WA it some how got under my truck. lol

 

Welcome to the site and goodluck with your project.

 

I'm wondering where can I find quarter panels at for my truck? cause as you can see it has bad bad rust...

 

Looks like a great start, Im from right near you, If it was my truck I would look for a decent replacement bed because with cancer that bad who knows what the bed structure is like underneath, plus to have that rust fixed itll cost some serious $. I would know, im a body guy.

 

Where can I find a decent replacement bed?? Hmm how much do you think it will cost?

Do they ship full size beds???

 

Ok just wondering... Should I just rattle cane it or pay my high school auto body to just give it a new paint of yellow? So I can just cover the rust up with new paint lol

 

dont paint it! rust is sexy! i say build up the motor and build a fast rust bucket

course my girlfriend describes my truck as looking like it was set on fire with a new shiny motor in it

 

YES .. did you even look at the site ?


and contrary to above posting .. rust is NOT sexy

.

 

I think I'm going to spray paint it.. lol I think I should buy what 10 cans?

Yes Sorry got a quote for that really spendy

 

Soo buying new front bumper hopefully it will go on with ease.
