Yo whats up. I got a green 2001 toyota tacoma prerunner v6 that my dad hand down to me as a gift when I got my license but I fucked up and crashed it and lost the whole front end and I feel bad about it still, so now I want to fix it to how it used to look like. Will need help doing so, because Im not an expert at repairing cars and such so thats why Im here

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld
If you need tools hit the yard sales to save money for parts.

 

Let's see some pictures so we can assess how much work this is going to be.

 

Is it salvageable? What does the frame look like? Bent? Rusted?

Need some pics.

 

That's a pretty vague description.

How about pictures and some specifics of damage you can see so far?

Do you have a place to disassemble / reassemble and be out of the way for a few weeks while you work on it? These home brews often take a while.

Do you have a good assortment of tools?

Have any friends with skills that might help when extra hands are needed?

Are there any good wrecking yards in your area?

While not an expert in car repairs, do you have any mechanical skills/experience that will come into play here? We all started somewhere, but this could be quite the adventure with zero mechanical background.

Here's a really serious question or three to think about going in......... relative to 'is it worth it'?

• Were the airbags deployed?

• If the truck has lived in snow/salt country, have you verified the frame is healthy enough to bother saving the rest of the truck?

• Is the frame bent from the accident?

• How many miles on the truck? IE what is it's mechanical history and health?

When you start posting specifics, do it in the 1st gen forum. Several folks there have done amazing builds/rebuilds/conversions/repairs and it will be where you find your best help.
