Ha ha thanks a lot you guy's
It does have a story that's for sure I just wish I knew all of it's history. I have put well over 100K on it so either has 270K, 370K or maybe even more miles on it who knows?! The mighty 20R is original but its on its 4th trans that is starting to go
I bought it when I was just out of high school and it was completely stock with zero dents just lots and lots of rust. I have my wife to thank because if it had not been for her it would have stayed on my dads trailer that was scrap yard bound--no joke. Blown trans (again for the 2nd time), bald tires, blown clutch, holes in the floor I could put my whole leg through and in need of serious carb work I really thought it was a lost cause...
I've had the opportunity to swap the engine many times along with clean body panels that I have in the garage but I just cant bring myself to do it. Nowadays so many people have Toyota mini's that its really hard to find one with character.
Right now I'm getting a w56 ready to swap in (G52's just aren't working for me apparently) along with another reduction housing in front of my 4.7's that I will upgrade to 23 spline while its all torn apart. Aside from that I just plan to take it slow and upgrade it as it goes. I've put a lot of effort into making it as reliable as I can and so far its never left me on the side of the road or broken down on a trail :greg:
