1971 Toyota HILUX 3TC R1 swap

[hemilove]

well from the beginning I will start found this truck on craigslist for $550.00 dollars super cheap I had to jump on it and make it look flush hope you enjoy this build has only took me 8 months from beginning to end
this is what she looked like in the beginning



went to the junk yard found some crown Victoria grand marqes rims 16x7 looked perfect for what I wanted take a look


did some chopping of the coils and had that bitch sittin low so ass is low and front too

she sits nice



old ass engine didn't work so i had the temptation of doing a 3tc swap and guess what i found at the junk yard for $130.00 an engine




so engine came out

Man, 550 was a deal and a half. Also good stuff with those crown vics. If I had 5 lugs, I'd use them too.

found the 1998 r1 carbs on ebay for $100.00 bucks and had to get them cleaned them all around made an intake at work and so on




3tc R1 carbs and header from ebay


engine going in

my lil brothers helping me out while i take the pics


so i sanded all the engine bay down primerd it and painted it black this is with the engine in it ugly as @$@$

cleaned it up a lil bit then worked on other lil stuff

got an ebay cheap low fuel pressure fuel pump and a clear fuel filter with a cheap fuel pressure regulator and set that hoe to 3 psi and it worked but not right i had to do something about the jets and springs and needles so i boaught the jet kit from dynojet

made a fuel pump delete out of a piece of sheet metal

cleaned all my rims and this is the process to clean looking rims with paint pressure wash them car wash get some sand paper or grinding sand paper rolls the are much faster scuff the rims till the clear coat comes off then wash them in hot ass water like burning hot and if available use degreaser acid based it helps with the cleaning process then let them dry hard core dry no water what so ever tape up the lip if you want one with scotch tape cheap one not the super strong tape bc it leaves sticky shit any ways hit it with self etching primer first then let it dry for like 5-10 min then primer wait another 5-10 min then primer again at least three times choose any color primer but as long as it mixes with the paint you don't want black and white that's what i mean use a grey and black or grey base and white on top make scence or even white on white that works any ways here you go tip on fat lace hellaflush illest ghetto rims for the cheap creative guy who has time on his hands

clean and prep

self etching primer first coat

primer primer three times wait 5-10 min in between coats

then paint it three coats at least on each rim then let them bake in the sun for a couple of days

get some fresh ass tires and let that bad boy sit low

ok so ok i made a header got the jet kit in installed it on then got th electric fan on then installed the tires also got som front disk breakes in from a newer hilux at the junk yard hope you like i also fixed the trans tunnel
