well, i'm addicted to searching for projects on craigslist.... and my wife supports my habits. so here is my 5th yota.

79 shortbed. 20r, auto, a/c. here are some pics from the craigslist add, i'll post some more when i get it home. paid $500 for it, and had an offer for $1000 already.

 

Damn! My wife supports my habit but won't let me get more than 2 vehicles. So its gonna be a 4Runner.

 

nice project!!

 

sweet find, The craigslist hunter strikes again,.

 

sweet, just 2 more and we'll be tied



what are the plans on this one?

 

Nice, congrats man. My wife would support it but unfortunately my budget won't.

 

how many yotas you got? i'm hoping to just drive it, but to be honest i'm already thinking about lowering it a couple inches.

thats were i'm lucky! she supports it and funds it!

 

hahaha i was looking at that truck too

 

^^^ really?! he told me he had several responses but mine was the first he happened to open..

 

i got 7

74 corona
75 hilux
78 hilux
78 celica
79 celica
80ish 4x4
85 corolla


plan on redoing the collection a bit to include a stout and a crown.


hope to have both by the end of the summer.







i think you should wax it, drop it and put some cheap mustang 17's on and rock it as a daily.

 

i wouldn't mind a stout either. i also want the first gen hilux and a 89-95.

 

Damn thats pretty straight for 500

 

its decent. there are some dents very similiar to seths 80 in the right rear. he had posted it for more a while back and the price has been dropping. but it leveled off at $500 so it was time to move in....

 

yeah..i never contacted him tho..I'm trying to buy another house so thats the only thing that stopped me

 

Nice! Makes me miss my old 79 even more than I do already. Cant wait to see some better pics.

 

Nice find man! My wife is supportive too... 90 4runner, 94 pickup (a.k.a. Lil Red), a 1966 and a 1957 vw bug from another habit.

 

Nice looking truck. I'm still looking for my craigslist gem.

 

Nice find man! Sure cant see what you do to it and here ya bragging it up to us addicts . . .

 

well i drove her home today. got to the guys house, and after tweaking the carb, and adjusting the timing she was ready to roll. still has a sputter on take off, i'm thinking the accelerator pump is bad. i also noticed it has a new exhaust system from the muffler back, and found the reciept for $135. tire reciept for $220, along with all the tune up stuff he had done.

the bad part of the ride home was the top speed of 71mph. i'm thinkin a 5 speed from a celica is in it's future.

would take pics but after the dog got a hold of the camera it doesn't work, and it was too dark for cell pics......

 

after all that, the dog got the camera. that sucks!

Not as bad as my dog got a hold of the Limited Edition Nintendo DS I bought my wife for x-mas. Now that sucked!
