    CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    What kind of "restoration" are you referring to? Body and paint? Mechanical/electrical?

    complete make over. haha. wanted to do body and paint especially because the previous owner didnt take care of the ride that well. the paint part, probably color correction pati dents all those stuff. pati ung mga parang mancha na din. regarding mechanical and electrical, i actually got word from my dad that he sent the pick up to a car shop earlier to get the tranny, wheel alignment, brakes and other pedal tweaked. kaya lang din ako naghahanap para sure. ung isang pick up dito sablay kasi ung gmwa e. since ako ggmit nito, i wanna make sure it runs smooth.

    i wanna make itz look a bit macho, put in bull bars and metal frames on the trunk. probably raise it a couple of inches and get a new set of rubbers that looks semi off road. ung mags nya stock ang ganda e. manual restore ko nalang

    To whatever look your pick up is, I would suggest that you prioritize your restoration of it. Put at the top of the list all mechanical and electrical-related repairs. Most of these involve safety issues that I'm sure you would not like to compromise. Besides, what's the point of having a spanking ride when you always find yourself at the side of the road caused by a mechan ical/electrical breakdown.

    The last in the agenda would be the body works. Besides, this would not be the best time of the year to have a nice paintjob.

    My thoughts.
