Hello all! Newb here, Adam in Bristow,Virginia. I just picked up a '96 LC 80 with 189k. Was a bit rough, but it appears everything is intact. No mods have been made... Frame is good, engine runs strong, interior is about 98% there, and I picked it up for what I believe to be a good price. The bad, Exhaust Manifold leak, needed new drive belts ( thanks by the way to beno his response in a thread helped me), the interior .... it is DIRTY! Tach Oil pressure gauge also out... Front stock bumper had a bad encounter with a mailbox... I have been at it for 2 days now and its coming along quite nicely.
Before this I honed my Yota skills by fixing up a 2001 4runner. Spent the last year and a half as a weekend warrior mechanic, learning as much as i could. Now its time to step up to the big leagues! Im glad to be aboard, you guys seem to have a great forum with a ton of experience. I'll try to be as respectful to what you guys have to offer and hopefully I can somehow contribute.
Good Bye OLD FRIEND
AND Hello New FRIEND!!!
This will be a fun project that will turn into a way of life Im sure.
