1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yea i don’t know how some of these end up here.


Maybe it was wreck, rebuilt/ painted and then, well I dunno

 

Some Copart vehicles are unsold assets from Mannheim or other car auctions/holding houses. If it says minor dent and scratch, there’s a very good chance that’s really all it is.

 

That's scary if it's a Tacoma, something's up. Toyotas always sell at auction

 

Looks like Cavalry blue? I'd always wondered what that would look like on a first gen.

 

Paint code on the sticker says it was originally Lunar Mist

 

Yah, Coparts is the shit I found a Nissan GTR for 10k had a smashed door, but gonna get a license to buy cars like that, fix em flip em. My friend payed 70k for his skyline.

 

Flood truck

 

Yeah the air was a nice bonus, surprisingly simple yet surprisingly effective

 

Interesting decision to paint over the door striker plate but also paint the engine bay.

 

Bakersfield is a hellhole plain and simple. Drove through there on the way to the Sierras late last winter. I guess the only thing it has going for it is it's only an hour and a half away from Seqouia National Park but you wouldn't know it by being there.

 

What year Skyline. A buddy of mine just imported a 1993

 

Brand new, GTR it even had acropovic exhaust as well. They had a Phantom Royce, Lambos... you name it, my dad almost got a new mustang Shelby from em..,then it overbid him, then he almost got a Raptor. The place is crazy for car nerds. The old lady is way cool with me buying and flipping cars so I’m in balls deep, lol.

 

Sometimes it feels like they're forcing drama into it (one big dramatic event after the other day after day, in one family which doesn't feel very realistic) but overall I like it so far

 

IIRC around here, they just make you sign an affidavit when you relicense that the vehicle has been out of commission. Must be still working on the honor system.

 

Is that the stuff they advertise on TV?

 

Yep. Phil Swift has stormed the internet as a worldwide meme.

 

@Sperrunner should of gotten a Toyota picnic lmao

 

I finally worked on my 4wd today.

Put new rear bumper on
Changed oil
pulled struts and fixed the top hats
cranked up the 5100's one notch.

today was a good day.

 

I'm really debating driving it for a bit and pulling the engine for a deep cleaning, replace drive belt systems and clean the intake and block.

 

AC compressor, starter, alternator, fan clutch, water pump, can you guys think of anything else? I need a new oil pan as well because well its rusted to shit.
