DREWSDIME Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I guess I never really made a build thread for my 720. I've done more fixing old worn out parts than anything on this truck , but I have been able to get a few things done to it along the way. Got it for $2200 but have put alot of money into it. getting the carb rebuilt and to pass smog was the hardest part the previous owner did some shady stuff to it. New brakes , shocks, ball joints, steering box, steering pump, radiator, altenator, pulley . Still needs alot of love but runs OK. I could not find pics before I added roof rack.

DREWSDIME Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Drove it like that for a few months , but we all know stock sucks No wheel , no steal.... unless you have a tow truck MR2 seats my stocks seats were tired. I plan on using some power Z32 seats I have soon, so these will be for sale at a good price Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Still was killing me stock height so I lowered it about 3 inches , still needs more lower Painted high beams yellow 1 Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 And I wanted to do this ever since I got the truck, I need some better fitting rims but it looks OK for now . 4x4 720 stock flares , not easy to find out here in Cali Quote Link to comment

musicman Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice oiks! It looks like the original Nissan paint is holding up very well; very nicely preserved 720. I'm interested to see the engine in another post. What is the difference in ride at three inches lower than previous stock height? Upland weather has been kind to your body compared to rainy rusty Oregon. Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Unfortunately previous owner had it painted Im guessing after it had some front end damage, it is pretty close to the stock color and paint is not that great but good for now. Well lets just say stock rides way smoother but I am pretty much hitting the bump stops in the front I need to trim them up or get some smaller ones and my rear shocks need to be replaced. For being kept outdoors its pretty clean and I wash it every other day so that helps Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Very clean build. Very jealous of the KC. Following. MR2 seats my stocks seats were tired. I plan on using some power Z32 seats I have soon, so these will be for sale at a good price How close were the MR2 seats for mounting? My current seats (96-00 civic) have me sitting too high.

DREWSDIME Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The MR2 seats fit the front stock holes the rear is off but I have been driving daily wit only the fronts bolted. You could easily remove the MR2 seat rails and get some rails from a 720 with bucket seats and mount them on MR2 . The seats fit good and do not sit too high I'm 6'1 and fit fine.

DREWSDIME Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The only thing I do not like about them is that they don't recline that far foward so its a pain to put anything behind the seats Quote Link to comment
