Truck's back, life is looking up.....
My battered 95 Nissan pickup is back - I am again able to haul.:yippee:
It spent a month in the hands of a local body guy who works with a trade school - fixed all the rust(with metal, no less), painted, new bumpers - even painted the wheels - for under a grand! Looks better than it did 8 years ago when I got it, and I'm ready for another 90k miles. Last night I finally finished my timing belt and seals, so all the rubber in my engine compartment is new; it runs, no leaks:x:. Got my 1.8 caliper brackets from a mildly-wrecked-but-totaled 95 - bigger brakes soon, can boost be far behind? And, I'm leaving Friday morning for 8 days of hiking and camping in Maine. It's already the best week I've had in a while. I'll probably get stomped to death by a moose. |
Bout time sorry to here it sounds like you got stuck with a VG though atleast you have a hardbody around it :gay:
|
Sorry, I was unclear. The pickup is bulletproof, just neglected. All that other work is on my 90 miata - finally banished all the 18-yr-old seals and belts and hoses, brake upgrade around the corner.
|
oh ok i thought that you meant belts on the datsun. wich would indicate a VG over a KA.
|
thats a great deal it sounds like, mind posting a pic or two?
|
Pics when I get back from Maine. My sister's borrowing it while I'm away - she's the one who set me up with the body guy. It's really nothing special, except to me - just your basic new-looking red Nissan pickup w/ steel wheels and ghetto tires.
|
truck being back makes you this happy?! try some boost on a miata...
|
Hey, simple things for a simple guy. Going on vacation helps, too. So does finally finishing my timing belt and stuff. First bigger brakes, then more hp.
