Their son who passed away and who was the owner at the time paid $11,000 for it I would guess 15+ years ago. I think that is the number they have in their head. Before I saw it in person I told my friend to tell them a decent specimen would be in the 12K to 18K. Then once I saw it in person I...

Every time I take the hardtop off I've always thought it was strange/funny that Toyota engineers missed adding factory seatbelt anchor points when the top is removed. I have a 1/78 and with the top on there are anchor points for the upper and lower points of the seatbelt in the hardtop. When...

I simply copied the layout @wngrog used on a couple of his builds and yes mine is a 1/78 model. The setup has been awesome!
