You should throw the 4runner body on the 2wd frame

 

sounds interesting, id be like a sport runner

oh yeah i forgot i got a weber 32/36 for 50 bucks, i just got to convert it from jeep use to toyota.

well im off to go try and get these panels from this guy but may hit up the junkyard before hand.

 

I think it would look sik as hell I wanna do one so bad

 

Nice job man, Its coming along fast. Wish i can find sweet deals like that around here.

 

im confused with all your projects right now.. lol whats going on ?

 

ok that corolla on the 1st page was my beater, i sold it for way more than i paid for it but still wish i had that car. It was replaced by a 94 celica coupe.

the 4runner i got to use the 22rte for my celica and anything else i could on the truck, i ended up selling alot of parts and selling the shell to a guy that exports toyotas to hati.

so now i have the beater celica, my project 85 celica, and this truck

how do i get good deals, im really good at getting a price down, plus ebay and craigslist seem to be doing me well lately.

i got the panels today, i didnt get that great of a deal but i wanted em, 50 dollars plus my old vinal ones. Now ill go on ebay and order chrome window cranks to go with em.

 

well i just got this off ebay for less than 40 bucks in all.



and these



now i have the correct adapter for my 32/36, and the window cranks ive been serching for. They are for a 1st generaration celica but all toyota cranks are the same size and spline.

 

UPDATE: heres what ive aquired from ebay, junkyards, and salvaged from the quad runner

3 row turbo rad w/metal shroud
center console
seat belt recepticals (need those for bucket seat conversion)
put the extra gts seats in it

So, what's up with your car JOE_1985. Any updates?

 

What vehicle was the console in and how do it look in the truck? I've been debating on what to do myself.

 

ill take pics of everything before too long i got to get another camra, i have 2 consoles 1 out of a sr5 4 runner 1 out of a regular 4 runner, both 84-88 style.

prob wont have no updates till the weekend

 

engine is here all new lookin and everythang. now just gotta wit for pops to get home and we are going to tow it from my folks house to mine

 

ok so, the "new" engine is in eveything is bolted up except for the exaust, driveshaft, and the bottom trans mount bolts. the wiring is all hooked up except for the starter trans and oil pressure

not much left

heres what ill aquire for the motor

LCE egr block off plates or make some
160 degree thermostat and seal
vac hose caps and hose
grommet for vavle cover pcv
cheap 10w30 and filter (installed cam and checked bearings so there a bit of assembly lube in the motor)
run a tac wire for my sr5 cluster
get fuel injection factory air pump block off plates
lower radiator hose
hoses to trans hard lines
re-attach driveshaft
find a factory exaust heat sheild

rest of the truck

brake wheel cylinders
front pads and rotors,
tacoma or 4runner 2wd auto shifter assembly, the one i got is backward
valvoline synthetic brake fluid

that should get me to running/driving spec

 

she runs

but the brakes need overhauled

 

grats how u like that 270/430 cam?

 

sounds grumpy, havent driven the truck yet due to i need brakes, and a shifter linkage or a floor shifter

engine revs up quick too, which is impressive because its running on 2 year old gas and a can of berrymans b12. soon as i get paid im going to get the brake parts and hit up the junkyard for the linkage or the shifter


oh and the a/c still blows cold

 

brake parts came, i may have found a way to make that floor shifter work.

i found a weber 32/36 i forgot i bought a few months back i may try as well, would be nice if it works good cause it only cost me 36 bucks off of a running truck, ill just have to run a choke cable as it has a manual choke
