Finally getting A Yota!

I am so happy that I am finally getting a Toyota, I've been looking around finding out what I'm gonna want to do to it, The guy I'm getting it from said it ran when it was parked in '03, I know it's a little rough but the price is right on it, 351,000 miles and he is not sure if it is an '86 or '88 but they are digging up the title and hopefully I will be able to bring it home this weekend

The pics are pretty bad but that's cause they were taken with my phone

Its an 87 i'm pretty sure just by looking. Um you can also find this out if you look on the inside of the drivers door.... anyway with a lil TLC she'll be sweet fo ya good luck.

351,000 miles and it was parked in 03, so if it's an 87 that's 21,937.5 miles per year.

only a toyota!

No it's not my first car, The plan for it eventually is arb front and rear air lockers, I really like the bumpers from addicted off road, 31" tires and some black paint, no lockers till I build a new engine for it though

This is the car that I am selling to pay for rebuilding the 22re that's in it

I was going to pay $500 for it, It was my co workers brothers truck and he got it in a trade for some services so he just wants me to trade services with him, So I'm not paying any cash for it, just my time

I am just waiting for them to dig up the title, What do you think the odds are of putting some fresh fuel in and some starter fluid down the intake of it running? New battery of course
