Got another cruiser

[greenbeast]

Bought another cruiser yesterday. Sure don't need another one but why not...huh.

It's a 78, needs some work as in new floor pans, knuckle seals, new springs, another rear seat and repair some previous rust repairs. Pretty poor paint job but at least they tried with original color.

The lady who owns it truly thinks it has 88 k miles and I will it admit it drove very well.

I offered some suggestions to help her sell it after she didn't accept my offer then she came back and accepted it a day later.

Goal is to fix everything, restore it in some form or fashion where I can play around in the mountains.

Did I mention the sunroof!

Looks great. Nice interior. Mine is pretty bare compared to that.
Good score

Flip the bezel....

 

[greenbeast]

I'm trying to figure out the lights above the fenders? What circa are these?

They don't look Toyota to me as I don't think the Toyota onea have that ridge. Hard to really see them though with that Bezel blocking out my vision.

 

[greenbeast]

Lol, enough with the bezel!

I don't have this thing in my possession yet to take a closer look at those lights and what they did with the OEM turn signals.

I want to put steelies with the hubcaps on with some good wheels ASAP! What's best source of oem steel wheels with clips these days?

Cruiser Dan in Albuquerque at American Toyota. That rig will look great with steelies! Dan quoted me under $100 each ($95, I think). Of course, you'll need to ship, but that is surprisingly cheap.

Yeah I'm excited about the possibilities of how it would look with the steel wheels and OEM bumper. I sent Onur an email but CDan gonna be cheaper shipping wise for sure.

Onur in Georgia now so definitely cheaper from here.

One day I'm going to get one just to be completely stock, but for now I can never leave well enough alone. Tried to buy a clean, bone stock '78 in crested butte but the guy just wants to leave it in his yard where it's been for 10 years instead.
