Keep it and fix when time allows. The 1fz is a great engine especially with a carb. The truck looks very similar to mine with the only difference being mine is lifted in the front/rear, not just the rear!

Got a link to build thread, or just some photos?
No Sir, but your the second to ask in the last hour so I guess I need to take a few.
Hehe, it's a halibut, same same.
That's the idea! Not a prudent "investment," but a very prudent vehicle to rip around in.

Hmmmmm. How much custom fabrication needed for that?
That rear axle is a Dana 60, they appear to be standard in the rear for some central/south American cruisers from what I read. Good axle.
Personally... I would invest the time into fixing the issues it has, then decide whether to keep or sell it. Maybe you'll fall in love with it but if not it will be worth more on the US market at that point.

Have decided to sell it. Will let it linger on Mud for a day or so before, I list on Ebay and bringatrailer and a few others. Received a few DM's but mostly bottom feeders trying to steal it.
If anyone is lurking in the shadows, now's the time to step forward...
Is a sick truck, just a bit more than I want to deal with. I can't change my own oil...

Gotcha - I see I was vague about that before as I was undecided to sell or fix.. I'm trying to get out whole. This is what I have in:
- Deposit of $500
- 16k wire
- 2k shipping/storage
I'm 18.5k in actually (I had forgotten that I sent a deposit as well).
I will let the project go for 17.5 - That's me eating about a grand + - a few dollars. If I list elsewhere, I'll most likely start higher so I can land at 18.5 or near about that.

Passing it on to someone here on Mud if they want it. Project a little too large for what I can deal with right now... Not going to gouge anyone, just want to get out whole.
If you have someone do the work, you will find it easier to sell, but I cannot speculate whether you will recoup all of the costs. If you are not hard pressed for time, your list of repairs is not extensive, and once addressed, you could just let the listing stay for some time until you find the right buyer. I do not know about the transmission issue you describe and what that may cost, though. All others sound straightforward.

Price is 17.5k as per the title.
Open to trades as well. Trade must be a runner and not a project.

There's a ton of photos and a handful of videos on the first post.
This is still a steal, from my perspective.

If I had the cash I would buy it. You can’t really import one of these for that price unless it is completely beat down to a pile of old parts.
Cheers
This looks like an amazing opportunity. However, folks south of the board are amazing craftsmen at putting anything besides metal behind the paint. Has a magnet test been done on this truck to determine if no filler was used during the repaint?
