1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

i put in the Tacoma lol

how about even further drilled down, to just replacing the garbage crap paint coating that is not far gone but every day gets a bit worse!
i still have no clue how some of this turned to such garbage and would like pertinent answers

 

Shh I want to buy the truck for scrap value

 

the paint is delaminating exposing the metal underneath

 

That’s normal with age. Wire wheel and repaint

 

scrap value

 

$300 cash money

 

I must resist the urge to buy a >$1000 prelude.

 

It went pretty well, got lots of rest and relaxation time in..but I was also going a bit stir crazy by the end. The GF wasn't feeling too well Christmas week so she was mostly in TV time. Since I was at her place without my projects I tackled the honey-dos and then was left a bit empty handed...

We never ended up going up to CA. Her friend who she is getting the horses through couldn't figure out whether the port of entry would be open over the weekend. As far as I could find info you also have to give them 3 days notice or something beforehand too.

Sounds like the GF friend will be borrowing the GF's truck to go up soonish...though additional trips will have to be made because there's 15+ horses and the GF only has a 5 horse trailer. I told the GF if I end up going we can take my truck but just ask that she or her friend pay for the next oil change and tire rotation.

Honestly a little nervous for either of them to go since their trucks are a 96' and 02'... The GF's duramax runs great but it's a truck with 350k mi on it...but I don't know her friend at all so I wouldn't be comfortable lending my truck to her

 

why does it have to be tacoma specific? the process is the same for just about anything with rust. Don't over think it and stop allowing yourself to torture yourself with this.

 

Man, yeah that could be sketch....

 

Youre talking to a brick wall.

 

Naw dude I was crying screaming hizzy fitting hot mess. Police, paramedics, Doctors, nurses, National Guard, FEMA are the real heroes and backbone of America. Just putting a proper perspective on a tragic event from circumstances I put myself into.

 

Hoser down with FF, lay off the underbody wash till spring your Taco will survive. Flowers will bloom and you can get back on with the media blast,prime,paint once again then.

 

if i do that i will have a shit ton of mess of garbage paint that has not yet fallen off everywhere!

 

because there are certain welds or whatever i am not familiar and well versed what to do with yet

do i need some sort of joint sealer product applied before i put the primer on? ... putting two coats on before topcoat
this is a total new question i stumbled upon this weekend!

 

Off frame restoration or stfu

 

Have you considered professional help? Paxil is good for OCD. Or so I've been told. Personally I don't really mind counting the alphabet as I type but my dog leaves the room when I do it aloud.

 

it's like hitting my thumb with a hammer over and over again

 

CBT for OCD saved me from going down the path of a life of self torture that Jay seems to have lived

 

i will watch this video a few times and see what questions i have
my situation is not near like this, just trying to keep it from getting near it
