I bought a Taco'...

Of course, a taco isn't a success story... but, A Taco' is.

1996 Toyota Tacoma... it's a rollover case, but it was a slow roll in the winter, which basically left it on the driver's side roof. The cab needs to be realigned, or replaced, but for $200 for the whole truck, which runs perfect and drives nicely, it's a steal for sure.

2.4 Liter/5 Speed

Excellent maintenance, fresh tires and brakes, fresh oil change, new spark plugs and wires, been sitting for awhile.

The guy was gonna junk it, but he decided to ask $300 for it. I told him that I wanted to fix it up, and offered $200 for it in cash, and he shook my hand. I drive it home tomorrow.

Overall, so far, it's got a smashed windshield, needs a driver's side window, needs some random bodywork, like the pass-side fender, bumper, rear wheel wells (chance for wheel skirts?), few dents in the hood and door, but all in all, nothing so serious that it can't be fixed or replaced.

I'm just amazed at how this thing runs, for sure. Pics to come this weekend!
