Mainly what I am trying to do, is get a group together that can work on each others cars maybe barter each others services. Just a thought. So shout your car out.
1981 Corolla Te72 Wagon 1.8 3TC 5 Speed
I currently have three imports. I have been a licensed aviation (fixed and rotary wing) mechanic and electrician for 22 years and do cars on the side. I have $15k of tools at my garage. I also compete IASCA/MECA sound quality. I can do metal fabrication and riveting.
My current project is called the 4Rocker. Supercharged/painted motor, 7 fuel injectors, 255lph pump, AFR/timing/supplemental fuel computers, data log capable, removed/painted/installed entire suspension, 3,000 watt stereo w/ custom aluminum construction, viper remote start, front/rear HD bumpers, rocksliders, hand built suspension, custom built bilstein shocks, full Amsoil, tranny valve body upgrade, tundra brakes, 3/16" skid/belly pan, beadlock wheels, 4.56 gears, winch, four screens, nav/dvd... all done myself.
I think I qualify... don't limit yourself to toyota/older-only vehicle owners. Just because my cars are only 10 years old doesn't mean I can't spin a wrench. It looks like you are soliciting for advice and help for yourself and the toyota community as an alternative to the local garage or dealership. Another good example is the Bob-fixitup guy who drives a honda.
Just saying...
