Not necessarily any wrenching yet. I have been looking for a few parts missing for my first gen build. I got a call from a guy near Charlotte that had the pieces I have been looking for. I drove down there today and one thing lead to another. Next thing I know I am a new owner of a very nice and complete 82along with a whole bunch of extra parts. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
 
Such a sweet score Del; my favorite year mini.

Install quality wire. Not cheap Chinese crap. It's not real copper.


I've preached it for over a decade. Time to take me own advice.

That is all. Please carry on.

Any easy way to tell a pan arch vs rear main apart? It seems to be leaking quite a bit. I through a bottle of seal conditioner in there in hopes of slowing it down

Yeah I was just going to pick up some interior parts. After I got to talking to him I ended up buying everything he had. All for the original price we settled on for the few interior pieces. Needles to say. I was stoked.

I am so jealous right now :)
 
I am looking for a good deal on a truck with the ext cab. I found an 87 Ext Cab 4WD last week for $600, but i had other car deals going down and timing wasn't there. :(

Looking to do a body off, ground up project - - light lift, but something that could still all parts of Uwharrie, etc.

I took mine to Toyota Techs for diagnosis. It is not easy to see it where it comes from. Mine was the chain cover gasket, but looks like your pic.

I think that's where it's headed. BTW thanks for the find on the seat covers. Well worth $25

Top side looks ok, i replaced the valve cover recently so I don't think that's it. Inside of the inspection window doesn't show slaptter so I'm think pan arch

Jebus dude you got the truck and all extra parts for the price of a few interior part......... right place at the right time indeed.... that is awesome :cheers:
 
Washing Machine repair day. The agitator stopped working. 10 minute fix with 'the most commonly sold item at the parts store'. $4.46. Don't tell Sarah that I wasn't slaving over it for hours. Saved $95 over a house call and can hold off on new machines a little longer now.
