). Now I don't flip the switch without it on. When I saw the pics of you without a helmet on, I think I got flashbacks. 
Everyone knows the risks and it's a matter of learning by doing 
Again looks like a great start, keep the pics coming. Props for bringing an 84 back from near death.

Did you weld in new sheetmetal around the windshield to repair the rust? My 4runner has a few holes in that area and I'm trying to decide the best way to get rid of the rust.... fiberglass would be easier, but new metal will probably last longer.
I painted the rusty chrome wheels on my old '81 Toyota. The paint held up well.
