No Transmission, no shocks, no air intake, no idea if there even are brakes... but Big Tire takes 1st priority in the list of things to be installed.<br><br>Hats off to you Sir.

I would have bought it in a heartbeat!! The Hilux was my stepping stone for my electrical knowledge in cars back in the 80s when i was 14 years old. My father bought one from the landlady’s son and it came with a book . It was a Hanes workshop book and had both American and English words. I spent a lot of time in the electrical chapter and now thanks to that I’ve wired entire cars, machinery, tow trucks and have done my entire electrical on my modified 150 cc scooter. Thanks for rescuing this jewel amigo!!!
