picked this up from my shop foreman for $1,000...in pretty good shape, motor runs like it's new (had 161k on it when i bought it...164k now...lol), 5-speed manual, factory sunroof, power windows and locks still work great.  i plan to eventually re-do just about every aspect of this truck (keeping it like a "resto-mod", but mostly original...i like mixing old/new but keeping it mostly factory if that's a hint) and just have fun with it...it'll be with me for a while...

I havent seen a lot of posts recently, although i have not been here long either.  I think maybe people come here off and on... dont know :)

Have you started working on your truck yet?

I have been putting parts onto the engine of mine atm.  I have a 2.4 liter engine in mine i guess the guy upgraded the engine and gave up on the final install... i am hoping that it fires up ok.  I then can see what is going on with the transmission.  I guess 3rd gear hangs up.  I have a guy i work with that can do the work on that cheap.. but i am waiting to see the story on the engine.

naa, havent done a lot to it yet save for a basic tune-up.  i have the 2.4 engine too, known as the Z24.  great running motor...it's my second 2.4-powered 720.  hopefully you have good luck with yours.  my only complaint with mine (and i'm not really that concerned with it) is that i only get about 20-22 mpg and i think it should be a little better...
