Hey guys,

No 240 yet but I have been shopping for a long time and eventually will pull the trigger.

I have been involved in the off-road and classic car stuff for most of my life.

My 18 Ram Cummins with Thuren goods. Serves as a family camping rig and tow rig for my Toyota.

92 4wd Toyota pickup caged front to back and fully built. Has a 22re in it still but I have a 1UZ sitting in the shop for it.

I also have a 56 F100 big window just no pics at the moment.

My passion has always been fabrication and working in the shop.

Looking forward to more exposure to 240s. I’m a big fan of s14s and coupes in general.


Thanks

That's one fine looking bork bork nom nom.

Welcome and glad to have you. Those are some bad-ass vehicles. If and when you do pull that trigger, make sure to share what you find, but more importantly, what you birth.

Looking forward to your posts.

Welcome!

I’m very interested in knowing all the cars you’ve had or worked with.
The old owner of our house had quite the collection (he wrote the maintenance down on the walls)

They are some badass trucks, if you have build threads, please link them.

You’ve got a cute pup too.

I was fortunate to grow up with a grandfather who has a lot of cars and the desire to pass some knowledge along.

Unfortunately I never documented anything with build threads. I would like to change that with future builds. Once I dig into my computer I will have a lot more pictures though.

My wife and I have spent the last few year’s remodeling our past and current house. Once we get his one where we want it I’ll be able to get back into the shop! For now it’s just little stuff here and there and a little side shopping for the next one.

Nice that you had family that passed it on to you. My family immigrated from a developing country so I'm the first to enjoy my Americanized lifestyle, and of course cars are what I am passionate about (My mother claims I was born with a hot wheels in my hand)

It's ok if you didn't document anything. I'm sure a lot of that was tribal knowledge. Even if you remember what kind of cars you worked with would give me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

I actually have an old wooden Moosehead case which seemed to be owned by a trucker in the 70's or 80's. Just had photos of semi's, deer and random stuff. I'll dig that up eventually.
