AWESOME 4runner. I wish mine was half as nice as yours. And its an 85 with a 22re. Good buy. Just ditch the beauty rings and street tires and you'll be halfway there. lol

thanks guys but shes far from perfect(just a pic of her good side).

it does have a few rust spots and the driver side door will have to be replaced because its been hit by something. the interior looks like chickens threw a party in it.

it lived in my mother-in-laws barn for a few years and was forgoten and only used as a farm truck to move stuff with.

i should have taken a before pic,it was soo nasty mold was growing on it.

You're quite lucky! As you see from the post above, 85 4Rs are quite coveted..

Welcome! You definitley have a solid 4Runner to start with. It took me three years to finish my build (see link in sig).

The folks on Yotatech will provide you all the support and encouragement you need to keep you motivated and heading in the the right direction.
