Did you see this one too?

That's a lot of leaks.

Eating the elephant one bite at a time. I should have the leaks all at bay sooner than later. New rear main seal and pilot bearing going in.

Note 60 steering box bolts on the bellhousing. I’ll cut the heads off and use them as dowels to slide the trans into place, then swap them for bolts. It makes stabbing the trans a breeze.

Cool tip on the 60 bolts to align the tranny

Chop and cut a slot in end. You can then back them out with a screwdriver.

I enjoy Carolina bbq sauce, just not on beef, in the radiator or gas tank.

I believe old tank and radiator were painted during the “resto” but not serviced. I’m replacing them both with new Oem Toyota.

Liking the updates here man. Beef is where it’s at in TX. Need to treat you to a beef rib at Louis Millers.

Yeah, they are great. I re use them to ship out 2nd hand Toyota parts, but if you want this one, I can set it aside.

Thanks to my pal Gunnar (GP AUTO) for helping replace the timing plate gasket. #25

Due to the amount of work involved, this often gets overlooked.

Gunnar for the win!

Ahhhh....... I usually notice these cool builds when they’re completed - - - I hit on this too early and can’t FF to the end!
So far

Thanks for the great entertainment.

Looking good, looking good!

Not as exciting compared to your April fools thread. Still sore.
