Well.... today I made alot of progress on repairing the old Tacoma. Its coming out really nice... and the further along I get the more its starting to hurt my feelings that Im getting rid of it. :( Hopefully somebody good will buy the truck. I got the frame all repaired and straight last weekend. This weekend I welded the steel plate on both the drivers side and passenger side to reinforce the curved section of the frame. I then installed the new fender apron... fully plug weled in all the factory locations... and then a bunch of extra weld that I did.... its on there better than it was factory. I need to weld the core support to the fender apron tomorrow... and then I can start bolting up the body pannels. All the parts except the grill are new!

Everybody here has a truck... but I want any potential buyers to know that the truck is going to be reapired in a quality manner. Im not taking any short cuts becasue Im selling it! Thus the reason Im taking pictures of the entire repair job. (the white stuff in the pics is the seam/joint sealant that is there factory... I had to replace it with new stuff after all the welding was done)
