[PROJECT] rebuild the wreckage

hopefully this is the right place for this.

i'll hopefully be getting this truck today, but if i don't, it'll be within the next couple days. i bought a 94 ext cab 4x4 truck for $100 from a friend of a friend. it was wrecked pretty good in the front, but it's still fixable. the plans as of now are to pretty much put it back together stock, with some little stuff here and there(couple inches of lift, m/t or a/t tires).

here are some pics of it still at the owners house:








so far, the main things im seeing it needs are:
hood
right fender(inner fender too)
bumper/valance
right headlight
radiator
frame pulled
floorboard beat back down
and im sure there's more

i don't know a whole lot about toyotas, but hopefully ill learn more about them with putting this truck back together.

You're in for a heck of a ride, but it definitely can be done with enough $$ and determination.

The first thing is to pull/repair the frame. You dont want to spend alot of time fixing the body, then finding out the frame is no good. Then you have to find a frame and swap stuff over. It will be easier working on the floor/cab if it's off the frame. But for $100 it is a complete truck.

By the way, what caused this? Cement barrier, another car?

If you were closer I would buy some parts off that. Part it out and make some money to buy one that is at least driveable.
