johny F Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 finnaly making my build thread..not to much pics(yet)this week or so i will be doing alot more to my truck .i have it posted up at my place of work so i can work on it with all the tools i need.. i bought it in bad shape.barely running..stock z22 slow as rolling turd with a hacked exaust..total price of this truck was 450..has 162k original miles..4 owners.. i have great plans for this truck.. a honda tech told me he wouldnt pay a dime for my truck today.simply due to the rust on my bed and drivers side door..last time i checked.those are both dismountable and replaceable lol.its a 81.what do you expect?...this truck is going to turn heads(the good way)when im done with it.it may take me a year..or earlier?..i bought this datsun to be a daily.but also to restoret in honor of my grandmother that has recently passed away.i know she would be very happy to see me working on this truck..so i take much love into this datsun that has tooken my mind off the unfair things life seems to throw at you..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.im a 18 year old working in tire disposal inc.so it may take me awhile to get money for the big parts.but were there is a will,there is a way! so far i have replaced the fuses tail lights.etc new tires and wheels rattle can paint job replaced the valve cover gasket and painted the valve cover replaced all 8 spark plugs. new air filter went to town on interior cleaning 2 inch glass pack exaust stripped the rear bumper off. oil change porche battery sound system that is alright. and thats all i can think off right now. FUTURE MODS lowering it new rims and tires. weber carb 32/36 bed liner new truck bed..(or fixing the rust spots) re painting the whole truck military green the correct way and one day a engine swap to which i have not decided yet i cant make up my mind. a new sound system worth as much as my truck(coming in a week or so) day of purchase more pics will be posted as mods are accomplished. update pic #1 Quote Link to comment
