1987 Toyoda Van Build

If by punch you drink and mailboxes you mean erm, water

 

I might do a self etching on the floor. Not much because its gunna get covered by dyna deck. Walls i need to sand and primer

 

without scouring 9 pages here that 180k miles seems low for its age
how did you tell exactly (under assumption it has 5digit + 1/10 on odometer)

 

It says the miles kn the odo so i assumed

 

so it has a 6 digit odometer? i am clueless

is there a pics buried in here of that panel?

 

is it AT or MT ?

You can do it!!

 

IT has this

 

I want a manual. But the swap is alot of work, at that point I could just 3rz swap lol.

But i wanna get a tcase off a manual because it has 4l

 

ya that is 6 digit + 1/10th
I have never seen that!
my 1st car was a '78 celica that only had 5 digits so I did get to see it goto all Zeros lol before it died

 

Yeah its low miles compared to most i see for sale

 

that has a friggn quartz clock on there!

 

It works too

 

@Sperrunner and I went to the San Jose North Pick-n-Pull today, they had a clean 1989 LE Trim Van.

Boy did we tear that van apart, it was barely touched in exception for the air intake, the seats, some minor exterior trim, and doors.

We ripped out 90% of the interior from the dash, to the window trim, to the carpet, to the shifter, to the switches, to the entire dashboard. Miguel’s van was sold to him missing most - if not all of the original interior, and all the stuff we pulled from the parts van completes it. The original interior that remained in his van was either in very rough condition, or cracked and broken.

Unfortunately it was also an Automatic 2WD van, so no dual range transfer case or manual transmission obviously.



All the trim we took.



And this is the one piece I regret not taking with us. This was the factory Toyota refrigerator and ice maker. It is a true independent refrigeration system with a separate evaporator, condenser, and lines. These are stupid rare and I only didn’t take it because removing all the A/C lines would’ve took forever and I would’ve damaged something in the process.

 

You guys always go when I’m not in San Jose

 

Was a last moment thing, haha. Miguel texted me this morning about it.

 

I got bored on google this morning and found it. Next time ill give you a heads up

 

i live within walking distance of I-80 (just a short 1700 miles away lol)

my Celica's speedometer was screwed at the end, could bury it @ 125mph while getting into 4th gear in a 4cyl

 

Tyler keeps things more up to date than Miguel
