    Hello all,

    I just wanted to introduce myself...my name is Jeff, My wife and I just purchased a 1977 hilux. It's in pretty good shape and we're looking forward on restoring her. We also own a 98 Rav4, 07 Rav4 sport V6 and a 03 Matrix XRS.

    here's some pix of our Hilux...

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone ! !

    As for restoring my new toy....I'm thinking of restoring to original with a very slight touch of modern. First thing is, I want to make the engine run to top notch. Whatever it'll take to make it run good is what I will be doing first. After that....I really don't know I guess it'll have to depend on the funds and how many parts I can find.

    It's so dirty as of right now, once I get a chance to clean of the dust and dirt off I will see some more of this beauty.

    As an enthusiast...this is my first time restoring an older vehicle. It may take me a longer time to get to where I want it to be. I'm use to my current project, where I think it's at the top of me already. Here's my ricer car....
