It Finally Lives!!!! 86 Turbo

[Daniel Boyll]

Well my friends after two years alot of money and a road trip to Springfield, MO and back to Indiana I can confidently say my 86 Turbo Toyota is running and driving I posted previously I was having trouble with the thermostat, I put a different one in and it cycles just fine doesn't get over 195 degrees. I replaced bushings in the gearshift to get rid of play I've changed doors and fenders to get rid of rust and holes and I've put around 350 miles on it since finishing the build. I have to say that even though it's ugly it is a blast to drive and hear that tiny turbo whistle. I'm attempting to post a video and pictures that I have bear with me because I'm not too great with uploads. Top is now bottom is before. Sorry for repeated pics
