Needs a little work. Plan to keep the color tho. Here's whats planned. Engine change to Z20, recaro bucket seats, dashboard change to B12, pathfinder or frontier rear diff with disc brakes, B14 power mirrors, two 10" electric fans and rack and pinion strreing. Whats already done: - installed power windows (need to source switches, the wires on the dash roll up and down them right now), installed a 5 FWD gearbox, installed front discs and spindles from nissan urvan bus, changed to electric fuel pump and changed brake booster and master cylinder to B14. Will post as changes are made.

Yup. Totally love the right hand drive. That would be a kick to ship to the US, and have here. The box looks pretty square too. Not much of the usual rust showing up. That is a lucky thing too. Nice truck.

Having problems with TSTT send the email to [email protected]. The tranny was done by Keith Charles on Papourie Road, La Romaine.

I'm changing the door mirrors. Will be using powered mirrors from a B14 Sentra which I got today. Will start the conversion when the truck returns from changing the engine.
