Update! if anyone remembers me

Well it's been a while since i've posted a thread on any updates of my truck. I've just been very busy with work and the new marriage life! but everything has been good for me beside my yota! here are some pics of her after my tire fell off because of someone trying to steal it! And also all the wear and tear of her being my only means of transportation to go to work.

Before


After


So after that and a couple of dumb fix it tickets, I figured it was time for a new car. And after searching on craigslist for about two months. I came acrossed a 95 Honda Prelude. It was clean as can be, it had all the records of what was done to it and after seeing i knew this was gonna be my new car. So i bought this beauty for about 3 grand. So now i drive my Honda Prelude to work everyday, while still having my truck. And now i can finally rebuild my truck without worrying how im gonna get to work. Right now im just trying to save up some cash to buy a house since the market is so good right now. And once i get my house i can finally start rebuild my truck from the ground up! Ight well thats pretty much all thats been up with my life! So now here some recent pics of my truck and my new Honda Prelude.







O yeah this was the last thing i did to my truck and i never posted on it, since it was a year ago since i did the mod! But i took out everything inside my yota and fiberglassed it and painted it black and cleared coated it, to try and create a polished dashboard. it was more of a trial n error. But i thought it turn out pretty good for being a rattle can paint job!


And My 95 Honda Prelude








And For Those who dont know my yota heres a pic of how she use to look a year ago!

Still think you need some protective grills on the lower speakers... some one will put their shoe/stiletto heel through them before long...
Single wiper mod? a little ricey but I'll admit I've thought about it too except I can't figure out how to mount the good Mercedes 300 series one... guess I'd have to look at it in the wreckers when I find one...

Welcome back, shoes! I was wondering what happened to you...

Didn't you swap/rebuild a 3.0 into that truck a year or two ago? Very clean truck. Good luck!

Thanks guys! Yeah Marrige life is great! Yea i dont plan on doing no mods to the prelude just plan on keep her stock! But i will keep you guys in the loop about me gettin a house and the rebuild of my yota! I have BIG plans for her so once i finally get my own garage i will start! And yea my truck could be worst but the way it looked before makes the way the truck looks now pretty darn bad!

toylocost- Used to go to Folsom Lake college, But my Parents live in Folsom and i went to Folsom High.

yoterr- I have thought about a 5vz swap but i want to keep my truck as much of the original form as i can. And i want to be a different and give the 3vz motor a try.

Tnrabbit-yea had that motor for a while but could never get it back together due to funds. but still have all the parts in case the 3vz parts in my truck fails.
