I've had several LC's over the years, but I have always loved the mini-trucks. So,I recently bought a pair. LOL
The first one I bought was this 1988 regular cab, long-bed, manual. Overall, it's in pretty great shape. It had a lot of engine work completed before it got to me, so that will make my life easier, hence the "build". In all honesty, this one has a pretty short list. After that, I may move it on down the line, but who knows.
I've kind of broken down the game plan into a couple of areas.
Exterior: Overall, she's a pretty nice truck. I'm hoping the bulk of the paint will buff out and develop a healthy sheen.
Here's the only picture I have at the moment, but will get more this weekend!

- Paint: Like I said ... I'm hoping it will be able to be buffed out.
- Decals: These things are faded. Ideally, I'll have them removed during the buffing and then reapplied.
- Dents/Dings: They're more a nuisance than anything, but would like to have them removed.
- Side Mirrors: They're cracked and broken. Going to replace with black models.
- Dash Pad: I've seen much worse, this one has a crack. I'm hoping to find a replacement, but have a feeling I will have to figure out a repair plan.
- Stereo: I'd kill myself driving around without tunes. LOL
- Rearview Mirror: Replace.
- Shift Knobs: Replace.
- Visors: Replace. I was able to order these from Toyota, so we shall see.
- 22RE Sticker: I know it's silly, but it's also crazy to me that someone did all this engine work, but didn't replace the valve cover sticker.
- Shift Bushings: Those things flop around like a limp ... Need to fix that.
- AC Blower: The switch doesn't work on HI and the other settings feel like a dog breathing on you. Getting fixed.
