My first vehicle was an 86 just like this one that I bought used in 88 just before I graduated from high school. It was a great little truck and I would love to have one again !
This is well done. I grew up in the 70's and the big thing back then was mini truckin'. I"ve restored several cars but have a hankering to do a '87-89 Nissan Pickup for personal reasons. This was fun to watch and you did a fantastic job!
You put a lot of hard labor hours in that conversion. But it looks amazing and you will remember this truck for the rest of your life. Regardless what other vehicles you will own in your life time, you will always cherish this one the most. Nice work and it shows. Thumbs Up!
That is a perfect restoration and on a toyota hilux ute l live in Australia almost original l own a 1997 toyota hilux myself owned for three years and since l am retired l have done a bit of work on it to keep it going it has the ultra reliable 22R engine has done 430000kms on it l will never restore it to your standard l am trying to keep it as standard as possible but it is 95% original l notice your door cards not original but look good and you got the wheels spot on and you resprayed your hilux in the original colour very nice
Beautiful job, well done. I've just bought a 1988 2wd, with 3Y engine. The deck is not OEM, but wider and longer to fit full sheets of ply etc. Not sure how far I'm going to restore it, found after driving it there are engine problems. Fired the parts cannon at it, plugs, fuel filter, etc to no avail. Carburetor next. Thanks for the inspiration.
The usual big TOYOTA decal in the back should put cherry on top such an amazing work done!! You guys did it right. I have seen most just do third class jobs. Even your wheels complement the OEM look. WOW!
Hi Andrew I really like your ingenuity and dedication to your Toyota truck I'm from El Salvador Central America and I really liked your video, take care
Anyone whos worked in small tight garages knows it is not easy atmosphere to work in. This young man did an amazing job. Something to be proud of. Never sell it and keep in the family. Great Work!
Very well done, young man. Look at it this way, people spend 300 hrs playing video games and have nothing to show for it. Look what you were able to accomplish in the same amount of time.
@@tavo6045 A for effort, D for content. I am Gen X. I guess you are one of the current crop of "men" who like to wile away their time playing video games......
@@cdpgbc-mw2kz No, you're mistaken. You Gen X's are just as lazy as millennials. There are some of us that can to both. There are people possibly such as yourself couldn't even build a 1.25 scale car even if you're life depended on it without even playing video games. But yet you guys complain about anything and everything. You should get of the internet and find some hobbies to do.
You did a heck of a job on that old Yota. I have a 1988 single cab 4x4 I'm getting started on. I off road it, so I won't paint, but I hope to get the interior as nice as yours.
very good homework, a suggestion for the toyota truck, look for the front side lights as chrome as the front grill, also the original rings with their centers, oh don't forget to install the rear flaps (mud Guard) :-)
You're lucky that bed was savable , Most Toyota's from that Era are ravaged with rusty beds . It's funny that I have an 82 and a 86 I restored as well . keep up the good work.
Great video very nice work. I have a 1986 long box 2wd version 5 speed. Did you have the chrome windshield trim or did you have to buy it from a supplier? I need the 8 plastic trim pieces and the clips that go into the windshield seal to hold the plastic chrome pieces. If you did buy the pieces where from?
I had the 1988 model of this truck in this same exact wine-red color, before it was stolen from me. Bought it brand new in 1988. Mine was unique in that I had one of the few remaining 22R carburetor versions with a simple & easily replaceable mechanical fuel pump mounted next to the motor. Bought it brand new, as a 1/2ton 4-cyl rwd short-bed standard-cab base model, without a radio or rear bumper, in 1988 for $5,995 . [ Back then, all the cut-outs for the accessories like the radio, antenna, etc were there for you to install your own. Also auto-parts stores carried much more items then; tailored for specific vehicles newly out on the market. Much more people, back then, were do-it-yourselfers ( DIYs ) and loved it. Plus it was a learning experience for all; not to mention the money saved. ]
Bonjour Je possède un toyota hylux xtracable Modèle LN de 1987 et je suis à la recherche d'un boîtier de direction Pourriez-vous m aider à en trouver un Mon toyota marque 1million de km et me sert beaucoup pour mon travail Merci beaucoup bonne journée
I can't believe how well that turned out for a "garage" restoration. I might be a little late to the party, but I was hoping you could help me out with some links to where you got the replacement seals and the new grille and chrome bumper? I have an 86 pickup I'm going to start restoring that used to be my dad's. I remember faintly the day he bought it and he recently passed, so this is going to be a special project for me. Thank you for sharing!
been wanting one of these old pickups for years now. My first car was an 85 that i got rid of when i was a teenager because i thought it was a hunk of junk because the carb wasnt tuned and it would stall. I didn't know or appreciate what i had. I knew nothing about cars. I wish i kept it and fixed it up like you did here. Hoping to restore an old one like this again someday.
Yo tengo una tambien Toyota pickup 4Cil 1986 cajón corto 1 cabina y esta conservada pero algún momento se restaurará completamente y este video es un ejemplar excelente de como se puede renovar un la camioneta y quede excelente 👌 buen video
