dunno whats going to happen, Supra has the garage and the Silverado has the driveway. Crown gets a parking space i rent in a parkade by my place. Hilux probably will go to my other house in the country after the HG gets fixed
guy dug it out of the snow today, doesnt look too bad from the pictures. started on its own in the cold so the engines decent enough to be rebuilt, rebuild the engine maybe make a plywood bed and call it a day.

it was crappy getting there, unplowed roads on the middle of nowhere. got stuck at the guys place in the Chev but got myself out 
actually got to talk to the kid that owned it today, he said his dad was driving it and it started to overheat so he shut it off immediately. hes assuming its the headgasket. im hoping its maybe just the thermostat stuck closed. started to get dark by the time i left so im just going to call for a tow Thursday and then drive out there myself early morning and bring it back
all in all its actually clean on the inside just dusty. grabs gears but the shifter has crazy slop, no resistance at all

pictures shall ensue. called AMA early and they wouldnt tow it because it has no insurance why it would need insurance to be on a flatbed i dont know. their contractor was free that early in the morning so i had to pay him cash to flatbed it back, $400. crappy trip, freezing rain on the snow early this morning and cars in the ditch everywhere but i made it there and back alive, beautiful sunrise towards 8am in the middle of nowhere. just need a break before i get it running again and pics

headgasket is indeed shot. wouldnt start the other day so i bought a Optima redtop and went to install it today, bad connection at the battery terminal. fixed it up and got it to run, just gushing air from the rad into the coolant reservoir
rad caps looks original so im going to get a new one incase its badotherwise just needs a cleaning tonight
