Hello Everyone,
I decided to join the community and post about my 1989 Hilux I bought a few years ago and am finally getting around to restoring. I am the lucky guy that managed to find a JDM Hilux in the USA with a owner that was not much of a car guy. He just knew he saw Hilux's in Iraq and had to have one. Well after a few years the novelty wore off as finding people to work on the truck was not easy, finding parts was not easy and when the rear pinion decided to start scream he decided it was time for him to sell it off. Lucky for me he posted it terribly as a Diesel Toyota and I was able to get it for relatively reasonable considering a decent one goes for +20K. This truck has it issue and well as of now I have it in a few pieces repairing rust and getting it ready for paint... So far the bed is done but I still have the cab and not to mention some of the mechanical. Anyways below are some pics.
I also have a 77 Celica my dad and I restored when I was younger that I decided to tempt you with a pic, but this is a off road forum so you only get one! LOL
If you want to keep up a little more I post a lot more on instagram @buildandadventure
