Well picked this truck up from German with a bowtie(was burnyd’s and yamaha’s). Today it looked pretty nice out so I figgered I would go out and clean up the inside of the truck(wipe the dash off, clean the carpet). Well I started with this ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-104F.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-104F.jpg) Figgered “Hey, I’ll take out the top part of the dash…” ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-114F.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-114F.jpg) Well I got a little out of control and ended up with this… ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-116F.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-116F.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-115F.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-115F.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-117F.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/JoKeR6/Toyota%20Truck/MVC-117F.jpg) haha, as you can see, I am a clean freak. The carpet will be comming out and everything will be cleaned(even body metal), degressed and ArmorAlled before it is put back in, o and everything gets cleaned. I like clean cars, lol. Just figgered I would start this and update it as I go with the truck.

I had plans for lowering it, shaving somethings new doors, 5spd tranny, turbo, but I dunno. Will probly fix the rust, get new doors, roll pan, lower a few inchs and keep it all shaved and streight. but who knows 😃 Now I am probly picking up my buddys neon CHEAP and I have all the parts to fix the body up for it and I am going to PROBLY be doing a 2.4 turbo swap in it. ---

Hmm, I would have to make my own manifold and such seeing as how they want like $3k or something for a kit. I wouldn’t know what to do about fuel upgrades though, I mean, it looks like it would be some easy shit to do, lots of room and simple. Hmmm, I am a boost nOOb but maybe that could be a cool project. Anyone want to donate? lol, parts? lol :redface: Also, the auto is what is holding me back the most ☹ ---

X2, my brother had a old mid 80 pickup with a 22R and a celica head on it. He got rid of it at 255k and it was still running strong. Once due to a head gasket or something related going bad, the combustion cambers were taking on lots of coolant. To the best of our knowledge, the 22R was just pumping the coolant back out of the engine lol. I always wanted to get one of the turbo 22R motors out of the later trucks, build it up, toss it into a old celica. If you wanna go NA there is a old 22R header here at my house that you can have. Dunno if you’ve seen this but more random info on the 22R motors.
