Hey Hey kids and adults who want to be kids again!! Im back....not that you missed me or probably even remember who I am but to freshen the people who have been on here for more than a year Im Eurofreak...AKA Ramello.. I had a 91 bagged standard cab that was red with the all white custom frame!!! In fact the link for my build is still below hahaha guess I should update my user profile hahahah Anyhow Im proud to announce I FINALLY GOT ANOTHER TOY WHOO HOOO Over the last year of feeling the guilt and pain of selling my beloved toy I somehow got back into Hondas (please no laughs). I had a CB7 Accord and since im a minitrucker I laid that **** out....got sick of it real quick and got stupid lucky that a local guy who I actually think is part of this forum as well needed a bigger rig for his growing family and we traded. So now in my garage in all its lusturous glory sets a 1980 Toyota SR5 Longbed WHOO My only thing is I havnt owned a carbureted car for almost 10 years Ive been spoiled with all the fancy electronics and fuel injection so please bare with me as I will be asking semi newb questions about this machine.... Thanks guys
OK so hope this works. The way my 91 sat when I had to sell it,,,, The accord I built afterwards when I gots some money! And the new 1980...traded the accord for this truck...the previous owner was also a member of this forum...Sitting next to Nvrenufedge truck before he bagged it!!
Plans for this guy are quite simple. I like the classic JDM look in older rides so I think Im going to try to keep a nostalgic jdm theme with this truck. The engine bay is pristine as the truck already has a mild wire tuck and the engine is clean. Already has a weber conversion and such but I might take it to the next level and polish and paint some things and tuck some more stuff...The fender well are not cut up and I love this fact however inorder to tuck more stuff and maybe run a size or so larger rim I might have to do it. Engine bay will be shaved either way to get rid of all the holes all the wire loom and emmssion stuff was on. I want to do fender mirros and a handful of other things so I will stop here as to not clutter this intro thread and procede in starting a new build thread. Thanks guys and its good to be back in the ever so lovely land of toyotaminis
So glad to see you back! I didnt think you would be gone for long, it is like a drug. Love the new truck and wish you still had to old. Would have loved to see it in person.
Yah Dion I wish I had the 91 back as well...I had the opportunity to buy it back a few months ago, the guy I sold it to had put some 19s on it Z'd the frame and finished bodywork and painted it but otherwise is was the way I left it....problem was he wanted $3 grand more than I sold it to him for hahahhahahah I think he put about $1 grand into it so I don't know were the other two grand came from!! No it is an addiction and Im really digging the new ride even though I bought it bagged however things are going to change to make it my own style and personality. Glad to see you finally got your truck laying on the ground...it looks good buddy!!!
