The little beast project
Heres what im starting with, a 1978 toyota hilux short bed with a hopped up 20r, newish engine (sat for 17 years in garage never fired) back by a newer celica 5speed and a bunch of other trick goodies, chromed rear end, rear sway bar, roll bar, not to mention the 4 inch chopped top. Was a show truck for a period of time until my dad bought it and drove the crap out of it until the engine blew due to cooling issues.

My plans are to take her down to bare metal, straighten the body. God only knows how much bondo was in there, and bring her back to her former glory with a few modern updates.

Edit: BBP- I knew I shouldn't have wasted my time on that. Figures you'd beat me to it by 2 min.

Look on yotascene.com for a while. There is a truck like this with a chop. It is primer gray and that back window is like 3 or 4 inches tall. I like! And dont you dare get rid of that cab. If you do send it to me.
