I originally bought this little gem of a 4WD wagon as a two-year project that I could drive and begin to restore at the same time. When I took over ownership, it was a decent enough wagon, but the interior, body, and some of the mechanical components were beginning to show their age. However, as a (relatively) low km. Toyota, and a (relatively) rare 4wd model, I felt it was worth the effort. Fast forward to 2024. It's a mechanically perfect, The interior looks like new, the body cosmetically appealing. It is a practical wagon that gets compliments wherever it goes, and with just over 200k, it will be a good one for years to come. What I've done and had done: Mechanical -new front cv joints -new timing belt and drive belts -new front and rear wheel bearings -new exhaust manifold flex hose -new fuel filler neck and shaft -new brakes Cosmetic -new windshield -new dash pad -era-specific Toyota alloys -new headliner -new bluetooth sound system -luggage cover for rear hatch. What's left to do: The body is currently good, and the frame is more or less mint. No rust whatsoever on the hood, roof, doors and undercarriage. Being a 30 year old car, there is rust forming (though hardly visible) around the extremities. at the lips of the front fenders, bottom of the rear quarter panels, and in the rear bumper itself (easy fix with rebar). That, however, is a future project for his next owner. For now, "Toy-Otis" is a good-looking, great-running 4WD prototypical classic (it set the bar for the Subaru Outback) that turns heads wherever he goes.
