Looks like a great project & you have a look start on it!
Though I would lose the over sized mirrors!

As for project name: Brunt Once
Over Cooked
Charred

 

Lol yea the mirrors will most likley not go on my truck, trying to sell them in the For Sale forum right now

I wish i could rename my thread im not sure if i can or how to do it haha.

And thank you!

 

try to pm or email jeff. he can change it for you

 

Thread Name: Toyota Well-Done , hoping jeff can help me out!

lol

Also came across a thread here on TM about relocating radiator to the bed of the truck, the idea really interests me, especially with the inline 6 being so much longer then the 18r i pulled out, starting on the frame this weekend! My brother in law is coming up from AZ to help me out a bit, hoping to get the step notch's in, most of the 4 link done, bags should be here tomorrow... but i forgot cups so it might be a few to get the bags in lol.

Pics guaranteed! Stay Tuned!

 

OK so its been a while, and unfortunetly when i have time to think i start changing stuff, sooo.. i decided to not do bags, instead i found full front and rear toyota supra suspension to go with my ....different motor i just bought the 7mgTe, yep found a turbo instead of the N/A and sold off what i didnt need for spare lol.





only thing holding me up right now is finding a transmission... found a couple but sooo expensive, i cant justify spending 900 on a unknown condition transmission. but once i get that i can get my fitment on the frame and then i can move to fitting the body on.

 

heres the new same motor lol with turbo







got the motor with a blown HG, but it was last rebuilt by K. Watanabe Corp.. ive tryed looking them up, i know they are out of California, but i dont know if they closed down or what, anyone know anything on the Watanabe Corp?

 

whats the plan to keep that suspension from looking like a mini with one ton axles??? lol

i vote for a donor truck, and using both trucks to make one. like this guy did

Project D350 Build Thread. Page1 - Mini Truckin Forums at Mini Truckin' Magazine

 

lol thats friggen genius!

Im not sure what ill do, but now i have some ideas of what i CAN do haha.

personally i like the wheels to sit wide, rather then tucked, but i picked up the front and rear supra suspension complete rotor to rotor for really cheap ( front 50$, rear 100$ with LSD diff and driveline) lol and almost none of what ive got so far has been expensive or permanent, but i love stuff and finding/buying it all is almost more then half my fun

 

took some quick measurements before i had to come to work today the supra suspension, using the same tires i took off, come out 4 inches wider then the body, 2 inches on each side... looks like that guy with the D350 hit it on the nose with widening it 4 inches haha, im not sure what the plan will be, but i will be busy rebuilding the frame to fit the suspension for now

 

my 50$ front suspension of a 1990 toyota supra



custom pipe made for toyota pickups with 7m swaps, guy i got the suspension from threw it in for 20$

 

bought a 88 turbo supra parts car and had it delivered this morning, 250$

now i have full suspension brakes steering, all the little gizmo gadgets in the engine bay and such.. hoping to be able to fit the dash from the supra into the truck also, going for a real "supra " truck

 

Get a engine also???

 

yea i have a 7mgte with turbo and downpipe, just need to send it to machine shop and get it cleaned up, and need a new head gasket

 

Very cool !

 

On these older vehilces, if the glass was taken out, and i had a professional put it back in ( windshield and rear glass ) are they able to replace the rubber moldings? mine are all cracked and have bad gaps, i want to remove the glass to do the dash fitting

 

Lol, going on a family camping trip for 6 days, had to work the last 4 days in a row, havent even got to touch my parts car but i cleaned out my wanna be garage enough so that i can get the hilux cab inside to work on it! guess it will still be there when i get home

 

That's going to be a sick truck when it's done.


When it comes time to part with the leftovers of that supra I'd love to have the suspension pods like you picked up already depending on price of course. I've got a truck sitting here that would rip with those parts under it with a 1uz.

 

the front sub frame with the wheels on it in the picture is an extra now, i got it for 50$, ill sell it for 50$
comes with rotors calipers power steering pump and lines, let me know when your ready for it

 

SOLD! I need to make a trip over the mountains to pick up some other parts anyway. I'm balls deep in potato harvest at the moment but I should have a window to head over in a few weeks.

Wanna part with a rear subframe too?

 

Cool deal, nope rear subframe is being used, pretty much building a supra now with the hilux body on it, going with the whole dash guages front seats suspension brakes motor and drivetrain from the supra, and fabbing a frame to connect the 2 sub frames that are under the car to seat my truck body on it, but i know of a couple around here near olympia that are for sale, i know there is one for 250 includes diff rotors and everything except the driveline, and there is one in northern oregon for 100$, Craigslist has a few supras being parted out on this side of the state too, maybe set it up to come over and pick the front and a rear up somewhere else?
