1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's pretty convenient. It's nice when you can get hookups like that.

I'm going to pull the anti crackhead shield off this weekend and trace it out on a piece of cardboard so we have a good reference to work off of.

 

Im going to costco today to buy supplies, if you guys want to chip in with 100 percent going to buy shit for the victims lmk, gonna drop off later today. Im so fucking thankful the fire didn't hit my spot.

what the news isn't saying is lahaina burning down isn't the only thing

but we also lost houses and shit on this side. 1100 acres burned in my region as well.

 

Technically there's like 5-7 different places like that within 10 miles from me, even more if you travel a few minutes more.

Problem is finding who's the cheapest but buying stuff that cheap it's really a wash spending only dollars more to buy it closer.

 

Ya most of those places are like 40-50mins west of me in Phoenix proper, where all the industrial yards are. The place I've gone to for steel in the past is basically on my way to/from the office but I have a feeling they're overcharging me by quite a bit

 

I talk to a lot of guys on the regular in the welding section and we often bring up pricing on metal as well as welding gas.

Blows my mind what some people pay in welding gas.

It is absolutely the cheapest (compared to them, east coast, Nevada, etc) buying where I'm at; but it's really industrial out here in the Fresno County anyway.


If you're a welder, guaranteed job opportunity.

 

@CS_AR Guess I bought myself a b-day present, this was already in my collection. So I have everything to fix the LC 4WD now.

 

Fucking rust. This is by far the worst frame I ever had.

3 of 4 cam bolts need to be cut

 

That's what my frame is like lmao. What a pain in the ass

it's been torn apart and sitting for a couple weeks while I find the energy to cut the cam bolts out lmao

 

Fuck that's a lot of rust

 

Cool. So that's a Corolla 4-cyl igniter?

 

This one I had pulled as a spare for my Corolla but it is from Celica that had 7A-FE.

 

wow, in forged carbon too!

 

I had to drill out the center bolt for the rack yesterday which is got me completely unmotivated to cut the cam bolts. Probably do it tomorrow. Really like to get the cabin frame out of my yard this weekend.

I'm thinking this truck came from back east. Maybe spent half of its life there half of its life here.

 

House appraised for 320k, so that's good

 

Another new customer, wanted a sign for their grandma

 

eeeeyikes drilling out the center bolt sounds like a huge pain in the ass

 

Even a 70 series on a 200 would be sick.

 

Least favorite parts of my week.

 

@Empty_Lord My brother finally got a quote from one dealer.

That's a wild quote for the engine. Dumping the car at Carmax is questionable and what would he buy in this terrible used car market? People are very much charging a Toyota tax as well and I'd hate for him to end up in a POS like a Chevy sonic. I've thought about dropping a long block in and then knocking out the suspension and brakes the following weekend. That would be a lot quicker for me than rebuilding his current engine.
