tdaaj Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) started stripping the parts nl320, got the doors, wiring harness', all tail gate hardware, dash board and almost both front fenders. i did more drilling than unbolting. apparently the Japanese liked using lots of Phillips head bolts where ever they could:( Edited February 22, 2009 by tdaaj Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 pulled the motor on the 720 and got the oil pan off to swap on another motor to hopefully put in tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Finally pulled the clutch master cylinder and inspected it...I already had grabbed one that is "new" off a JY 521 but wanted to take my bypassing one apart just to see what was failing with it. Cleaned it all out really well...BrakeKleen is so awesome...and put it all back together and it works great! The black gunk of death had just taken over and closed off the by-pass portion of the piston. Feels brand new!:cool: Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 finished pulling one fender off the nl and the rest of the bed rail trim. started removing quarter panels. RUST SUCKS! Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 redid the ground wire for my stereo replaced ALL the fuses in my truck, figured it was about time. Almost had enough time to put the new ignition control in but ran outta daylight. Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Found a new home for the 521 at my buddy's shop up north. Hopefully it will go up either during the week or next weekend so I can actually do some work to it. Spent part of my tax return on creature comforts. Sub, sound deadening. Thought about going to work on the interior... thought about it. Found a set of wing window seals, although, it seems to good to be true. Quote Link to comment

Ohh does it work!:D It really puts you in the seat now. I also replaced all the illumination bulbs in the dash cluster. I also temparly put in some lenses for my HID so I could drive it around. I didn't ever drive my 521 with sealed beams, I did buy some APC H4 conversion lights Couldn't see crap unless I had them on high. Now that I have those HID's I here birds chirpin as I drive by...:lol: Quote Link to comment
