That looks great! There's one on Expo that is the same color with the 87 style stripes. Voodu blue looks good on the 1st gens.

It's a bone stock (non SR5) model (minus the tacoma wheels) that was originally the beige/tan color with brown interior. Going to restore this one back to original color and add white wagon wheels with all terrains, possibly mud terrains. Has a minor amount of rust over the doors and around the front windshield and along the very bottom of fenderwells, frame is immaculate.

Truck has 205k original miles and is a 5 speed, everything works.

Holy crap that is one sick rig. I really like the "retro modern" paint scheme using new colors but with the classic stripe pattern.

Thanks for sharing.

@OP: that's a great looking truck, but restoring to original is never a bad option. I hope it's a fun build! Keep us posted!

First of many resto mods to come. The neat thing about this reproduction shift knob is this was the exact same one I had on my first Toyota, when I learned to drive a 5spd. It was a 1976 Corolla hatchback.
