Welcome. I'm not too far south of you in Mt. Vernon (about an hour or so south). Adam

Well I need to replace the belts, including the timing belt, before I do anything. But we'd definitely love to go wheeling. Shoot me a PM if you want my number. I'm home most of the time (excluding this month).

1995 Geo Metro 5-speed 1.0 liter. Gets 47 MPG on average and it's my DD. And my toy, 1987 Toyota Supra with a 2.5L straight 6 single turbo 1JZ-GTE. Should be putting down 500 RWHP once I get my ATI Super Damper crank pulley on and finish my tuning.

Well if you're not busy Sunday, you should come down with me to Tacoma for the Puget Sound Toyota Owners Fest at Griots Garage. I'm bringing my 87 Supra and meeting up with another Supra friend in Seattle on the way down. Shoot me a text or call me to get ahold of me. Adam (503)206-9067

Welcome. I'm not too far south of you. I'm down in Mount Vernon by the Skagit Valley College. I have never understood why people lease cars.

Trust me, a paint job is planned. Other things have higher priority though. Including replacing all 4 hatch struts, the center console (all screwed up and broken), and a stereo system. Oh, and the most important thing, replacing all 3 belts. Yes I know the wheels are all spares. Oddly enough, I picked up a Pathy wheel at the junk yard as a spare and it happened to be a regular wheel. That's the plan. I need to find someone to do the welding on the front bumper. I don't have a welder nor the skills. I need to have the tube bumper welded to the stock brackets, then weld some sheet metal over the sides of the bumper so it's a sealed unit and looks beefier and will be stronger. My uncle lives in Bonney Lake.

I pulled off the front bumper yesterday and replaced the bumper mounts with ones from the junk yard. The drivers side is pushed in a little from the impact. We're going to reuse the bumper that was built, although fill in the gaps with sheet metal for a smoother look and mount parking lights in it and driving lights on top of it. We're also going to add an upper bar to the bumper that's level with the hood. All I need now is sheet metal, some steel tubing, and a welder.

Cool. No, I bought the truck like it is. The only thing I've done is fix it and install missing parts. Stock sucks. I want something much stronger so I can hit things without doing serious damage. Speaking of, I pulled off the front bumper today and discovered that the drivers side of the front end is pushed in a little, oiy. It took a sledge hammer to be able to get to the lower bumper bolt. Yeah, that's my Metro. 95 base model, 45-51 MPG. I'm on Ecomodder and Metroforums under the same name. I drive a lot so I need something fuel efficient. The bumpers will be rebuilt so they are much better and stronger. We bought the truck like that. The headlights are a work in progress. Slowly they are getting refined.

I know about the MrJim run this weekend, atlhough I don't think my wifes truck will be ready. Unless of course I get some help this week replacing all 3 belts (timing included). The tires aren't that great either right now. Just street tires with 1/4" of tread left.

Yep, that's me. I've done a little work to them since that pic was taken. I have more current pics in my build thread on SupraMania. Yes I know the corner markers are missing. I need to rebuild the front bumper first to be able to install some. I already have a spare that's stock size, but thanks for the offer. I know the rims are actually the spare tire wheels. They were unpainted when I got them and they didn't look good. I was the one who actually painted them black since the way the were stood out like a sore thumb. Aftermarket wheels are planned, along with some meaty 31's. I'll get a timing belt shortly, although I've never done one before (especially on an engine as crammed in as this one). teixeira: Do you have any suggestions as to how to build a much better bumper? The lower tubes on the bumpers are only 1.5" round stock while the top one is something like 2". I have to pull the bumper off anyways to repair the damage to the mount.

Hey all, just curious to see who all is in my area. I live in Mount Vernon by Skagit Valley College. Shoot me a PM, I'd like to meet some local Pathfinder owners. Adam

First off I'd like to say this is technically my wifes truck. I just bought it for her for her first car 2 weeks ago for $1000. Not sure which specific model it is, but I can tell you it's a 91 4WD auto with 31x10.50,15 tires and the bumpers are something custom. It has 192k miles on it and runs great. The front bumper is pushed in an inch on the drivers side from where the previous owner hit something and crushed the stock bumper bracket that the tube bumper is welded to. I have a new pair of belts waiting to go on, although the timing belt is on my list of things to do (it's a lot of work, I dread it). It needs a few thing still like a stereo system, but mechanically it seems to be in great shape. I've already done some of the basic maintenance like flushing/ispecting the brake system along with installing new plugs and wires (still can't find my socket thanks to the DS rear spark plug). I'm hitting up the local junk yards to see what I can scroung up in the way of parts. Here's some pics. If anyone is local to me, feel free to give me a call and come on over. I have a ton of parking space and am home most of the time. Adam (503)206-9067 Oh, in case any of ya'll are into Toyota Supra's, I go by the same name on SupraForums and SupraMania. Here's a couple pics of my toy
