Looks like you have some work ahead of you Why didnt you take care of the subframes while you were working on the arms?

Good look and keep us posted

Looking nice Just make sure your rear subframe is in okay shape and isn't cracked anywhere. Seriously though, nice pick of parts to liven it up a bit. Just please please spray some rust inhibitor on the rust. Non-matching paint looks lots better than rust and random holes in the body!

Yikes, that's some serious rust. I strongly urge you to pull the hatch plastics, and the rear seat/seat bolsters that clip in place and look for rot through into the interior. With that kind of external rust, I'm willing to bet that there's a large amount of interior rust as well. One of the many reasons I junked my black car.

Seriously, check.

after spending some money on the tacoma i found a new body for the car

not bad for $600

and now the long process of swapping the motor and cleaning it up
