Whether it is a good or bad idea has yet to be seen, but I was able to purchase an old 1992 75 Series 1HZ troopy. Mechanically seems legit at first glance, body and interior are a bit rough but those should be easy fixes as the interior is pretty sparse to begin with.
I am rookie with dealing with older vehicles but I am looking forward to learning and playing with fixing this thing into a decent overland style rig. The first of many questions I will annoy members of this forum with is about what mechanical areas are the biggest concern I should tackle first as well as a rudimentary service schedule for fluids and such.
I am going to get the timing belt replaced, I know it’s supposed to be done every 100Ks but being used I am not sure when it was done last. But what other areas are hotspots?
A couple of pictures before it was sent to the body shop. Having them go over it to ensure there isn't any rust hiding than painting it to look all pretty again...
