victoria in bc or australia ?

Hey there mates ! I picked up this little beaut on a total whim a few weeks ago. I was perusing my local classifieds for a car for my girlfriend and came upon this. She's more into american cars so she wasn't interested but i'm a sucker for toyotas and just had to go see it. Well it took quite a while to get warmed up where it could drive but it tracks straight and its as clean as we can get em on the coast here. i was surprized by how little rust is starting to show. So after a while of admiring it and bullshitting cars with the seller i broke down and bought it. my truck project was starting to bore me anyways. Anyways i got it home and have been toying with the carb getting it to idle a little smoother and warm up quicker. found a very helpful thread about the auxillary accel pump and bypassing it. Cleaned her up and snapped a few pics. Next up is some chrome bumpres to get rid of the fat american ones, and either a quad light grill or atleast clear corner lights. We'll see what kind of rear end i can find i'd like to keep this build all Toyota parts despite the difficult of sourcing all the parts here in canada. once ive got the rear end figured ill know what direction I'm going in for suspension.
