Picked over the weekend an 87 turbo 5 speed donor truck for 750$ it just so happen to be the exact same color faded blue



Frame is completely wasted, but doors and fenders were rust free. Turbo motor purs like a kitten on some starter fluid because the fuel pump is bad. Motor will get a chain, HG, and studs along with a oil and water pump and then it will be dropped into my 4runner

In the mean time, we started stripping body panels and placed them onto the sa 87. We are also going to swap the rear sliding window and some other goodies.



Now has fresh fenders, doors, and a hood. Were are going to save the other doors and make them into half doors.

We are also ordering an all pro flat bed kit and sliders for it as well. More to follow.
