Hey Guys, Stoked to join the forum. Long story short the green truck is a 1995 and my inlaws bought it brand new! But last year my mother in-law smacked into the back of a trash truck doing about 35-40 mph. this truck is her baby she would not let it go so after everyone passed the job up and a year later she got a 2014 lx 570! I knew this was my chance to swoop in and own a iconic offroad Toyota and that's exactly what i did! i have a lot of photos to share from the last couple weeks! first photo is when she hit a pole at the gas station and bent the bumper! and all downhill from there LOL (other than that awesome 570!) I will make another post with the rest of the photos But im not crazy to fix this truck am i?

Not sure why shops would have passed on the rebuild but to each there own. Hopefully there is no frame damage. Looks like a front clip and maybe some odds and ends under the hood near the core support. Did it push back into the doors? windshield?

Is the red 80 the parts truck or just another project?

and yes the red 80 is the donor truck, it has 265k miles runs great but needs the front end pieces i used, and the interior is pretty bad it sat on a farm for some time, i did source everything in the same color red for 800$ if i go pull it apart in Maryland about 4 hours from me I'm in the Hampton roads area of Virginia i will be posting that truck for sale as well
