Welcome
 
I live in Prattville, work in Montgomery.

I feel the warm Hugs from the Internet when I get on ih8mud
 
I'm from Prattville and know some Shoupe's. If this is the same Nick I know, then we know each other. I used to have an S2000, Matthew. I can hear the song 'Its a small world' playing in the background....
 
Haha...

My old neighbor Matthew?

Small world either way...not enough shoupes for there to be more than two Nicks...ones an online creeper from Missouri and the other is me...I think

That's me, the old neighbor Matthew. It is a small world. I just bought another 80, a 1995 one with 159,000 miles. My first one that's been locked that I have owned. I've had two others unlocked and helped a buddy buy a locked one and now have may own.

Yours looks good man. Did you get it down that way?
 
How's Hoover treating you?


Bought it from McKinnon Toyota

The new front and rear bumpers and 3k worth of recent maintenance made it worth the sticker shock...paid cash so it wasn't hard to gulp down

I plan to keep this one for a while...I'll roll over 200k in the next week or so

-Nick-
 
that is a really nice set up, I think I would rather have stock height springs and a MT spacer than my 2.5" lift.
 
What kind of recent matinence has it had done that was $3,000 worth? That sounds like someone did it at a Toyota shop and paid handsomely for it.
 
All new panel lighting...dash...AC controls, brakes, axle seals, brand new spare revo2, new bilstiens and steering stabilizer, new power steering pump, freshly painted hood and fenders(fade/blend)

Parts and labor with paint 4300$ work

Parts no labor with paint 3300$ work

I probably would have paid Toyota to replace lights in the AC controls and dash if I was lazy, anal retentive, and had the money...

But it justified the price

Not to mention...the money spent is way less than I have thrown at cars over the past decade

-nick-

I've got OME heavies coming...the addition of bumpers and sliders have done their business on the yacht...it's floaty and not as stiff as I would prefer with the weight it's toting around
 
OME heavy kit, ipfs will be here Tuesday
Getting together parts for my interior tool box
Ordering gaskets and other pieces to fix the AT pan seep and oil pan seep as well as the seep near the dizzy...

Atleast this things is fun to work on compared to my other 5-6 projects I've had in the past
