Long story, bought it from a guy in Garner in 1991 when I was in college and 21. Slowly worked on it, drove it and enjoyed it. Got married, had kids and sold it to my step moms brother. He didn't move it or title it from my name. Fast forward to 2009, I had a chance to buy it back, minus the engine. Turned it down, and my dad bought it and presented it to me Christmas day 2009. That's the before picture you see. R.K. found me a engine in Danville, Va, sandblasted the frame, OME suspension and kept buying Toyota parts when I could. Drove it until 2015 and disassembled it and took it to my painter/body guy. There he worked on it for 4 years to the month. Got it back this past August and reassembled it. Still have many things to do, side mirrors, radio delete etc. That's the short version anyway. One day, I hope put put all the pics together and make a story of it. For now, drive it and enjoy it and let others see it and appreciate it. Also, joined the club, let it lapse and rejoined back in July. Hope to get more involved and meet members.
