why not

Post by hatchattack »

figured i'd post up my build pictures of my sr5.
buddy of mine traded for this car back in 2003.
after a few rattle can paint jobs and cut springs she sat like this.
Image
then went through a couple of other friends and eventually came back to him as a bare shell....but with a cage.
Image
picked it up off my friend...pulled it to my house...then the fun began...

thanks!
haha i noticed i left a bunch of stuff out. didn't get pictures of everything i put in.
i need to get some better pictures of the exterior of the car.
recently ordered some new "toyota corolla" and "sr5" decals for the hatch for when i paint the car. gotta keep it real.
ordered my drivers side seat rail today so i can install my sparco seat...which has just been collecting dust in my closet.

having done some more work to the car this weekend i thought i'd go ahead and update this.
installed a manual rack with ueo inner tie rods, ueo tension rods, and a knock off ebay header.
haven't had a chance to take it out yet though :(

Good to see this is still in progress and not roadkill :tu:. Stupid me mis-placed my lug key. Fortunately I only had one security lug per wheel. I just took my big vice grips to each one (they were the expensive lite aluminum ones :/). Glad the kit was ready for either a 4 or 5 lug setup.
