67 Toyota Stout

[rustyra24]

I purchased two Toyota Stouts from a local junk yard. I plan on restoring one and maybe do something crazy with the other. I have one down to the frame. I grabbed RN20 front spindles for a front disc conversion. After removing the brake drums I discovered that the wheel cylinders are okay. I plan on keeping it totally original.

Starting sanding it and taking it apart. I might forget how to put it together by the time I am done.

Low compression caused by cylinder three deciding to blow up. Probably why it was in the junkyard.

Here is the finished frame. I plan on painting the brake lines, gas line and spare tire holder gray. Suspension pieces will be painted red.

I sand blasted the frame and decided to use KBS Rustseal. It is a company founded by someone that worked at Por15, very similar stuff. I would advise you to read the safety procautions. It can be some pretty nasty stuff.

Here is the differential all painted. Frame is starting to come together. The engine is currently at the shop getting bored.

This would be an awesome candidate for a Lexus 1uZFE engine and tranny swap.

Put the brake lines and put the rear suspension on.

you're doing an excellent job. I want a stout! I've never seen one in person

Here is the engine back from the engine shop. Rebuilding the 3R probably doesn't make much sense but I like to keep things original. It will probably run better with modern parts and the ability to breathe better. New valves, springs, etc

Dude it looks like theres room to bore it another 60 thousandths. I have a 20R carb for sale if you wanna put more fuel to it
