I own a rusted out 1994 Toyota 4Runner, had it for over 7yrs and driven it for 120k miles, reaching moon distance on the odometer
It's worth 'not a lot', looks like a 'derelict' but it's part of our family
We've enjoyed many miles together seeing many cool places. Frequently even covering 1000 mile drives across Europe in one day
It's been faultless, I've serviced it regularly, lovingly fitted more new parts than it needed but neglected keeping the rust at bay.
Sadly the the dreaded salty UK winters have taken their toll and I've reached the point of it needing a full chassis up restoration or replacing it with something newer
As I really don't have time at the moment for another project I've agreed a sale which should see it live on as a taxi in Zimbabwe for probably another quarter of a century of reliable running
I own another Gen 1 Toyota 4Runner in immaculate condition and have a brand new replacement in mind, obviously another Toyota truck
This combo will offer the best of both worlds but the frequent pangs of guilt of giving up on my old wreck is making it really difficult for me go through with letting it go.
Any advice gladly accepted and I'm interested to hear if I'm not alone in struggling to let go
