Newbie intro

Hey all,

New to the 80 series, not new to Toyotas. My dear wife killed my 02 4R at 165k about a month ago and I needed a new rig to ease the pain.

I ended up scoring a triple locked 97 with just over 200k last week. It’s not without minor imperfections, but overall very well maintained.

I’m really excited to get to work on restoring what doesn’t function on the rig, and even more excited to be a part of this community. It seems there is nothing left uncovered in this forum.

Thanks for having me!

Every answer to every question about you 80 is here.

Now get your wallet ready!!

Thanks for the heads up on the avatar. I was astounded that the UN hasn't been used already.

Doing my best not to even look at mods. If I focus on maintenance and making sure all components are functional first, hopefully the desire to mod the hell out this will fade. Luckily, I have very purist friends who will shame me if I do anything to sway much from being period correct.

Well, you're starting with the best color combination! Keep your wife-unit away from this one, and focus on baseline maintenance to get it up to your level of quality and go from there. With 200k on it, you'll still have plenty of time for mods later,

Interesting. I deal with a broker and told her to put the value at 20k. I never got any push back.
