I'm guessing its an old picture and theres one there now. Theres a few grounds , top of trans and I'm fairly certain theres suppose to be one going to the inside of the fender area near where the battery goes ... few other things to check ...

Well , they are def aloooot of work , but well worth it and fun to drive when you get most the bugs out. You will always have " some" bugs that you will learn to ignore as long and they don't involve safety etc etc. Some you wont be able to find parts to fix so you just say screw it ... :roll:

Lots of help on here , I tend to be on at night .. opposite coast so a little time difference ... sometimes during day but that depends on work load ... I was out yer way last year on a work trip. visited 2 Toyota dealers out there. One in Bellevue and one in Bellingham ...

Oh you lucky lucky guy. Lol. I'm set to finish my aas in automotive technology in December. Living off of school ATM... Trying to gain a tool collection, I work in gravel, my next buy is a jack. I wonder if they make any with inflatable tires... Lol. I'm also debating on parting this out, it needs a ground up resto and was last titled in Calif. As salvaged.

I don't know about lucky , the job has very little percs really ... but its a job for now till something better comes along. Been doing it a long time ... just time for something new. It took me almost two year to get mine just running ... so if you have a good motor and trans you have alot of good to start with. One thing at a time cause it will piss you off alot at times. Set low expectations at first on goals to meet when you work on it so you wont be dissappointed when it doesn't work out ... And it will happen. Mine got me 2 weeks ago on a power steering leak , had that damn pump out 4 friggin times and I was hotter than hell at that car ... :x
