===>>> AWESOME & CONGRATULATIONS ! ! ! <<<===

A very long awaited reward for you and Tam. Both of your many long hours spent and work is finally paying off.

I appreciate all the time you take documenting and pictures. I have read every post from the start and continue to follow. I look forward daily for your posts.

I have learned quite a lot from your posts. Thank you

ABSOULUTELY THE PROPER MUSIC TOO !

Now you & Tam need to take some well deserved time and celebrate.

Thanks so much. Good to know someone is reading along.
It makes for a long day when your day starts at 5A, work from 7:00-5P, work on the car until 8P or later, drive home, and then when I finally get home, post what we did which usually takes an hour or more.
But to me it's worth it if people are viewing it and getting something out of it. I just hope and pray that this forum never gets wiped out! All those hours of work gone!

A lot happened since I last checked. Loved the video.

I never realized you were not working on the car at your house. I have to say that would make it a much harder project. You two are very dedicated. Congratulations, and that big congratulations is coming soon.

Yeah the car is in the shop at the HVAC business we own. We currently only have a tiny one car garage under in the basement at home. We also have a 20' shipping container at home but that would not be good to work out of.
Luckily the shop is only around 15-20 minutes from our house.
The car is back there.


We really need to get it out if the shop but also need a bigger garage at the house.

HUZZAH! and congrats. I am following along too but don't post much. I'm kinda totally opposite of you. I purchased a driver in 2003 at 51K and just drive it like crazy and only fix things that are about to break or that do break. Currently just over 258k miles. Your car is so clean. I tell the dirt on mine is a protective coating!

258k?!?! Dang that's crazy! My last Tacoma had around that on it when I sold it.

Congratulation to both of you! That engine is immaculate. I imagine we only see a small glimpse of the work you actually put in, not only to do the car refurbish, but also bring us along with your posts. I've enjoyed being included in your journey. I've been worried and concerned with the frustrations recently expressed. But now you are clearly on the home stretch and I am so happy for you. Once you get your car on the road, you will be rewarded with the joy it brings to people that see it. Good work! I'm looking forward to your first drive video.
