Old Toyota Hilux - worth buying?

Hello my Readers! I was recently thinking about buying older Toyota Hilux, let's say from about 1982 to 1989. They are fourth and fifth generation.

Equipped  with engines from 1.6 to 3.0 V6 diesel and petrol engines with turbos. So many options were available.

But right now not many people have to sell car like this.
Cool thing about those cars, they are pretty simple, you can tune it very nice. From custom shocks to bi turbo engines. But keep life of car in mind.
Spare parts depends on country where you live. Also in many countries you can have big discount on taxes if car is old and its called veteran car or similar to this.

Rust shouldn't be a problem. In those old cars you can just cut out rust pieces and weld new ones, spare parts or from another car that can suit. My friend do it all the time in chevys.

If you are looking for some hobby car that you can drive it for fun I think its a good choice!

Hilux offroad build steps.

To build a good offroad machine, doesn't matter if it will be high speed trophy truck or just trail truck, you will need basics:
1. Higher suspnession, it depends on your wallet thickness ;) You can use spacers for suspenssion which I don't recommend. Or just buy longer springs and leafs, also It always better to buy longer shock absorbers:

2. You can lift your body from frame for some mm. This one is easy and not so expensive. You can earn more space for bigger wheels and have more clearence on bottom.
3. Spare wheel carrier, Remember to always have minimum 1 spare wheel for you car when offroading.
You can put the wheel on storage area or buy extra carrier, just take a look on trophy trucks they always have 4 spare wheels because time is money for them!
