the only real rust spot




now im looking for possible ideas to do after i get the headgaskets fixed and if i decide to keep it.

 

holy crap talk about the mother of all deals

 

Thats pretty sweet deal

 

was that blood in the cargo area? I've said it a million times never buy your rig from mobsters, no matter how good a deal it was

 

dang, the question is does it run?

 

Nice find!

 

Don't fix the gaskets........start looking for a 3.4

 

Pretty sweet deal. Congratulations...I have to echo the previous poster who said look for a used 3.4 I saw some pretty good (sounding) deals on eBay a few days ago.

 

Chop the rear roof area out , sas , 3.4 , regear & lock , desert camo paint , front rear bumpers and winch.
Just a few ideas for ya to think about

 

yes, it does run. it just blows the coolant out the overflow after it gets warmed up. i figure i can fix it for between 3- 4 hundred. if the wife wants to keep it we are thinking painting it silver and fixing it up. if not we are going to get it running and flip it and keep the money. probably use some of the profits to do some more mods on my truck. anyone have a 3.4 for sale. how much would it cost for a swap? cause i can fix the 3.0 for pretty cheap.

 

Dude, might want to check the frame. My old tacoma was exactly like that, had one rust spot like the one by your window.

 

does kinda look like it doesnt it? but no, i think it is a soda stain or something.

 

frame looks pretty rust free. never been wrecked that i can tell either.

 

what i was thinking too

 

dont think chopping out the roof will be an option for the wife. maybe the rest though.

 

Looks like a great deal. Take your time and map out what needs to be done, and in what sequence.

 

ya, im just wait on her disision if she wants to keep it or flip it for some extra cash. it might be for sale when i get the headgaskets done.

 

booo i hate you. that looks exactly like mine without the rust or kms i'd just throw the 3.4 in and call it good. whats up with the rear? looks like you have some side lean on?

 

its sitting on a hill.

 

That was a steal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!
