Hey Marlin Board. Longtime Reader, First Time Poster
« on: Aug 31, 2020, 10:34:28 PM »
'Sup.

I've got an '83 Yota pickup that I pulled out of a field where it sat since 1991ish.
I spent all my free time for the past year and change rebuilding it. 100% DIY and I've never worked on cars before, only bicycles.

Its finally road worthy, smogged, registered and I'm getting to focus on the making it awesome and not just functional.

Its got lots of bits from Marlin on it, and I've appreciated these forums over the course of my engine rebuild and I figure its time to be an active participant.
‘83 Yota named F.A.R. O.U.T.
