1988 Restoration project all done...with photos!
Hi Guys

Just finished my '88 'runner. I've done some old Dodge Chargers before but this is my 1st toyota restoration project. I made the same mistake as on the old Dodges...not enough "before" pics. Anyway purchased last year for $800 up here in Alaska. Body was solid with standard dings. Interior poor and wasn't running good. With an air box adjustment runs great and paint and body is complete. This was my 1st full paint and learned a lot, I think it came out ok...let me know what ya' think
Before:

There's two bolts underneath the dash, one by in a corner by the glove box, and another as I remember near the main heater vents. There are also a few screws. This is the one part in the 4Runners that's really a ***** to get out, as one bolt is hard to get a socket into.

Where did you get the interior parts from? That all looks brand new...
