It has been awhile since i logged on so i wanted to update everyone on things..

I traded the mazda, it was hard to do, but i got a very nice 85 toyota 2wd out of it.. very dependable truck. lowered in front and some in rear. sunroof was plated and bondo up.. nice work in it.. I want to bag it and paint and then have it for a daily. as far a a mazda goes I will be looking in the near future for a stock truck so i can build it myself this time. having someone elses issues was just plain bad, so i know this time around it will be done right the first time and i can take credit for building it.. I do expect to hit shows in oregon and washington this year as long as i can clear it with my boss.

I am moving into my own place soon and I am working on a 2nd chance with then person i love so much. This year is going to be the start of a better life for me. I will get some pics of the yota and add them to this.. later all

good lookin yota. Good luck on the future builds. Nice welding job there, never got the hang of the really thin stuff myself, I rely too much on bondo which is a pain cuz of all the thin layers lol.

been working little by little on the yota and I finally got us moved and we are so happy now. rent is cheap ($325 a month) and got more hours at workso I can start getting parts now. My roomate/landlord has a nice air compressor and tons of room for me to work on the truck. Just need welder and i will be set. I am doing some interior painting right now, waiting on it all to dry a bit more then put is all back in, pics coming later tonight!! I might order my front mounts and bags in a few weeks so I can start that part. Looking for another daily so i can tear it down and bd it right after bagging it. Going to take some time but will be worth it in the end.

I like what you did with the dash couldn't save the sunroof or not the look you were going for?

I am going to do more on the dash after work.
