I got a few minutes of rest at work so though I'd post this up. I recently got a promotion and sold my Subie. My promotion requires me to be onsite at a chemical plant and taking into account the corrosive nature of the environment at my new job site as well as the s*** gravel parking lots I am forced to drive through I decided against driving my Z to work. Also since I am trying to really fast track paying off my student loans and at the same time looking for a house I decided against purchasing a new or slightly used vehicle (as I had previously wanted to do) So this string of events and decisions has led me to this, so without further adieu, introducing my new Daily/Toy 1988 4x4 2-door 5-speed VG30i powered Pathy.

To the first post, :( I can't believe you crushed a 2-door wd21 that makes me sad panda. On the other hand, DUDE if you can find me a glass for it that would be awesome. courtesy nissan has them but I'd rather not pay a premium for a new one. The only thing it really needs is steering and suspension components (tie rods, pitman arm, ball joints, damper, shocks, etc) which I will be buying new and probably aftermarket. And wheels/tires (I want to get the stock "LEGO" wheels and ditch these vatoesque things that are on it now) It has a lot of body rust but the frame, engine, trans and 4x4 are flawless, its got 186k miles (for a 88 that's unreal). Really if you had a complete good (un-rusted) body I would be interested, if not than I'd say both front doors and hood, the rest of it will have to undergo a lot of cutting cleaning and welding. All in due time, for now I gotta get it to where it drives straight and true.

To the second: I took it off-road about 2 hours after buying it and except for the expected creaks and noises it was beast.

I might actually consider it looks like the body is in much better shape than mine. And my buddy told me I can store it at his shop while we work on it so having 2 might not be such a bad idea. Thanks Pilot

Did you sign that online petition to forgive federal student loan debt? Definitely google that if you haven't already.

Congrats on the new whip yo!

Dude we had to we had her to long haha we still have one but its a little bit newer its a 4 door..

This is the part number for your Quarter Glass: 284-58205L
Type that number in ebay... The following link is a good price proabably one of the best prices you will be able to find unless you go to a pick a part.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/QUARTER- ... 27b89bf705

^ should buy that glass if they dont have it anymore for what ever reason let me know and I will run a locate..

But I have the hood and I have 2 sets of doors one set set is damaged so they are good for parts. The other set is decent one has about an hour of damage but
nothing to bad.

On the other hand post a picture of the wheels you want I may have them if i dont i can tell you a yard that does because im good like that ;) .. The wheels that are currently on your pathy are not the original

Hey thanks Mark, you're always a huge help dude, I really appreciate it. Are you positive that's the correct glass? seems extremely cheap although I guess if the dealer sells it for 130.00 than this could be it. The doors, I just need some straight ones with no rust on them, since the whole truck is going to be bed-lined inside and out before its all said and done. Same with the hood. As for the wheels, the ones I want are like the spare on the back, those are the factory SE wheels that came on the SE models. And yeah the vato-tastic 3-spokes are definitely not stock.

Yeah I know, I was in the market for a new vehicle but everything on the road now days disappoints me, nothing is made like it used to be, this truck has 186k on it and runs like its new, idles smoother than most barely used cars. Plus the VG is one of the most bulletproof engines ever so I know this thing'll last me a good while.
