nice work on the fender...
from what I have seen around my area, that fender would have been considered pretty good condition

and it is getting dark @ 5AM??? where are you

 

thanks robb, still practicing with the welder. haha, i fixed the 5am deal

 

Lookin good. Keep it up

 

Like seeing the repair and the pics. Its easier to replace parts, but I rather see and do the repair myself. Great job.

 

thanks guys. didnt get anything done today as my 86 had an exhaust leak. got her fixed up now. back at the 81 tomorrow.

 

Just checking in to see how things are going. One of my friends just got an 82. Those are really nice looking trucks. I havent seen one in so long around here. I get my project finished. I am going to make a 79-83 my next project.

 

hey terry. man, i have been down with the flu for over a week now. hope to get back at it this weekend. ya'll got some snow huh?

 

Sorry to hear about the flu. We have had that going around here too. We have gotten alot of snow around here. That has slowed me way down. I am so ready for spring or warmer days. Looks like you can start reassembling soon. That the fun part of the build. I will be watching.

 

Keep it up, the weather will be better in a month and your build will be one month closer to rockin' on the road. looking good.

 

man, finally finding the time to get some work done on the truck again. tax time really sucks for me. well, that and the plumbing leak under the slab of my house. its kinda put a damper on things. got both fenders 90% done, just going to media blast them this week then get some primer on them. will post up some step by step pics here in the next couple of days.

 

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedds

 

its nice to see someone restoring a truck rather than hacking it up. atleast there will be a few survivors in 20 years

 

X2 on that. I like seeing restores and improvements that make them more enjoyable to drive and dependable. Been liking what I have seen so far.

 

Hey great thread so far. I live in Tampa and plan on building a first gen truck when I finish my 86 4Runner. Keep up the good work.

 

nice work

 

Just checking in on you. Hoping everything is going well for you. I found an 82 for a friend of mine awhile back and he got it. I helped him work on it for an evening. First time I have really been around that generation of Toyotas. Those are really shrap trucks. We just dont have too many of them around this part of the country. I will be glad to get mine finished and start on one like yours. I want to do a full frame up like you are doing.

 

likeing the build man, you know what your doing!! good too see and keep up the good work!

 

Like the build! It's going to be awesome! Keep it up and good luck

 

need updates

 

looking good any progress on this old girl??/
