Figured I would document some of the build of the build of my old 1987 Toyota xtracab pickup build that I started in 2007...The truck is long gone from my ownership but is still cruising around Mexico City somewhere in a Marty McFly theme. I'm glad to see it continued to get used and didn't rot away somewhere or get totaled. I don't feel like writing up a whole novel on the build but I'll post the main points of the build over a few posts.

Anyways, what it looked like when I bought it:

When I finished it:

When the second owner painted it and raced NORRA for a few years. He did a killer job really making it iconic:

And what it looks like last I knew. It's been around Mexico City for probably 10 years now:

To be continued...
 
i remeber when it went up for sale before mexico. i wanted it so badly but it was just out of my price range. its sad thats its turned it just an instagram flex instead of being properly used
 
I was wondering why anyone would build a truck that was so nice with zero up-travel when seeing it for the first time on instagram. Looks like they lost almost 2/3 of it.
