Girl I do it to the maximum, Nissan.
rescue it so bad.
Expedition Portal
Found this yesterday parked on the street. 1987 4runner Sr5. Clean body with the factory stripes still in good shape, Piaa offroad lights & 31s. Time to find this guy and persuade him to sell.
Super Celica
Earlier this week a co worker called and asked if I could come by and help get his friend's 85 celica running again after it just shut off.
I went by yesterday morning. HOLY SHIT. Obviously built in the early 90s this thing was straight out the "cars that go boom " video.
It started life as a 85 gts convertible that the drug dealer previous owner grafted on a mk2 supra front chassis, body panels and 5mge onto. For some reason it had a 82- 83 top. Painted school bus yellow with a kaminari kit moulded onto to it along with a hood wing & trunk wing shopping car handle.The interior was redone in black & yellow leather with the back seats deleted in lue of a pair of Cerwin Vega monster subs. Continuing the entertainment was a 10" tube tv in the dash with a vcr. YES A VCR. oh year and a playstaion also, the original. The motorized trunk was filled with gigantic phoenix gold amps with a crazy enclosure.
Motivating all of this with the 5m was probably ok, but they added a trd header & pacesetter exhaust to it. To assist the system, 5 yellow top batteries & 2 alternators.
To sum it up. It was wild and unique. I wouldn't mind hearing some JJ Fad knocking through those speakers though.

New update on an old car.
Mcfly's family truck
Little progress today on the 4runner. Washed all the grime off of it, 12 years of pollen, dirt & grease. We fixed the rear tailgate dent that prevented the rear window from coming down fully. A few weeks ago I rebuilt the fuel pump hanger with a walbro pump & new lines. Fired right up after a 12 year slumber. Almost forgot what 12 year old varnish smells like.
Mr McFly
Samir spotted this forsale last month. 1986 4runner SR5. Original owner with a slew of 80s mods. American racing wheels, air horns, smittybuilt bumpers. Marty McFly status except 2 more seats. Last night he brought it home to the retirement home where we'll work on cleaning it up.
