Howdy! Come watch me polish a turd.

Be sure and get pics. We like pics. Like, a lot.

 

Mmmmmm, yessssss. Vivisection. It's Rotten dot Com all over again.

I gotchu bb

My main squeeze

 

I gave up Instagram so you guys have to follow along on this little adventure.

here she is not in low mode.


Plus, I got a little inspo at the tractor supply when I stopped for a bucket

 

Our patient

 

Looks like it has one of the unicorn master cylinders. I'd snag that as a spare if the price is right.

 

Ah damn too late. Happy with my haul though

 

If it doesn't have the FA kit, I have a brand new never opened Lexus P/N: PT420-0009L that I'll trade you if you can get your hands on the map light, sunglasses holder assembly in the headliner.
EDIT: Looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short

 

Alright, my donor was much rustier than my truck which sucked but also made me feel better about mine. The bummer is most of the shit I wanted from the underside was basically junk and the hard line I needed was completely seized in the connectors on both ends.
I came away with a full set of minty manual cloth seats so I can toss my obliterated leather seats. Unfortunately the mouth breathers at the yard threw an oil soaked crossmember into the immaculate interior so hopefully I can get the oil out.

I also got a bedliner to go with my new tailgate. I was able to add another color to ol’ Methanie.
Before

After

Ass like a baboon (that receiver hitch is rusted in there which is why I needed another one)

I got a full set of not-fake-wood trim pieces and door buttons.

The dude that babysat me in the yard threw this in for $20

Finally, I filled a 5 gal bucket halfway with bolts, brackets and hardware I’m missing or are rusted to dogshit along with a receiver hitch and trailer harness and bracket.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
