Step one is to clean it out, step two is to make it run when not parked. When you have completed those two steps, come back for the rest of your assignment.

Body is decent, a couple small dents, and a little rust on the rear wheel wells.... I'm not complaining though...
I should probably drain the fuel tank before I start it huh.....? :sigh: Hehe

Nice paint job. Did they use a mop?
I've got some extra taillights if you need them.

It's a 22RE. It might run on shit but shit won't go through the injectors, BTDT.

make sure you drain the tank and get the old gas out. you might try to give it a tune as well.

Well, I've decided to give it a second life! I'm going to wheel the $#(*%&#$ out of it!
It left the realm of free today... But I want it known that I got it running before I spent any money on it!!!!
I fixed half a dozen wiring issues today, and I had to cut out a large pile of aftermarket wires... but the stock wiring is surprisingly unmolested, I'm happy! I got the half top bolted down, and one of the side windows installed today.
I drained the tank a few days ago (about 4 gallons came out, and I put 5 gallons of clean gas in), and today I was going to use the pump to clear the lines out by removing the cold start injector, but instead I just jumped the fuel pump and let it recirculate back into the tank for a few minutes before trying to start it....
None of the 3 batteries that came with it would take a charge.... oddly... So I ended up putting my battery in, and after 20-30 seconds of cranking, it started to sputter!!! Then it reluctantly fired up, and I say fired as in, it ran enough to know that the engine wasn't total junk... I later found out that one of the plug gaps was closed up with carbon, and the other three were not in great shape.... The plug wires had been chewed on by mice, so it got new plugs and wires and it's much happier now! It has a couple coolant leaks, and one slight oil drip from a pan bolt...
So now the "YouTube or it didn't happen"! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZnpeHw68io
Did I mention it had been stolen? That screech is the power steering pump I think... It went away once it warmed up.
Total $$$ spent to date: $90 on plugs, wires, oil, 90 weight and an oil filter.

Getting it smogged and registered will be the real issue... I think it will be worth it though!

save your self some time and just send it to me.
put some brake fluid in it, that res looks way low.
give them a good bleed.
alternator belt is loose and glazed.
be sure to check your fuel and brake lines in case the rats got to those also.
where is the steering column?

Send it to you? What's your address? Hehehe 
I but brake fluid in after the video was shot. The master needs work though... The steering column is there, but it's been all hacked up thanks to the thieves... and it didn't show up in the video cause the camera was on the seat...

I am totally convinced that you cannot kill a 22R/RE. It's just not possible no matter how much abuse they receive.

Update! The half top has both side windows back in, and there's 4 1/2 seats piled inside out of the weather right now. I need to fill the sunroof hole still.....
The front sway bar has been removed and I installed a good used 1" master out of a 91 4Runner in anticipation of brake upgrades... And so it'll stop without pumping...
I'm going to have to swap the whole upper steering column out of my dad's parts truck... the thieves buggered this one too much to just install new ignition stuff.... Oh well. No new pics.
I've been busy with other things.... Hehe
