1971 Toyota Hilux project

So this is my new toy, I bought this little guy three months ago. When I bought it it wasnt running so I was a little hesitant at first but it turned out that it wasnt anything bad at all. When I bought it the truck had been sitting in a shed/barn since 1997 and that was the last time it was on.

This is how it looked the day I bought it

I bought in on a Saturday and started working on it right away on Monday (I was excited)

This was the first time it had been driven in 15 years I drove her right to the gas station to fill her up

It took me a couple of weeks to find some wheels for it I wasnt really sure what I wanted, and then I got offered some two piece 15 inch wheels that I tought would look pretty good on it so I when ahead and put them on. In the process I did go ahead and lower the truck about three inces all the way around.

Doesn't seem to me that I'm so far off as far as looks or date. But I'll accept the face palm anyways
