    Nah have multiple projects it’s great. I have an 01 and a 04 plus the commuter. And I’m still looking at another project to make car #8 I’ve owned and I’m 23 hahaha
    Mechanical engineer damn, tried that couldn’t do the math. Hopped on the IT wagon to hopefully get some of that 6 figure income one day. More money more mods! :bananadance:

    I’ve got the 01 taco, The 05 tundra, an 06 avalon and an 06 corolla.. too many things. Got a spare 01 frame and a complete 3.4l drive train.



    but I’m also a Toyota tech so things fall into my lap

    Thank you! She’s been a fun project.
    Flip cars are my current thing.. goal 2020 is to have my new frame all preped for the body on the taco.

    flip cars will pay for it.

    Tech and wallet usually means empty wallet :rofl:

    hence the username and tag line “wallet abuser”

    It’s decent. But you can get burned. My latest flip was an 07 avalon. 400 bucks. Threw a new engine in for 900 and did the brakes, sold it for 4500

    I really should focus a bit more on flip cars, so far they were mostly cars I wanted to have fun in for a few months then make a bit flipping afterwords. Project wise I’ve been debating what to do about the 01, stole it from work

    I keep trying to find a 01 double cab that needs a frame around here.. my trucks old frame will be prime for long travel once I fix the issues involving shitty work done by whoever replaced its frame the first time around
