that is what she looked like when i bought her, she wouldnt go over 35 mph and nothing worked inside the truck.

i have had her for almost a year and have been working on her from day one. i dont have many pictures but now that i have found a forum, i will be more apt to take more pics.

here is what she looked like about 6 months ago.

Cool man, I just got one of my own. Wouldn't run above 60. Here's whats been done - changed plugs, points condenser, plug wires, carburettor( original under repairs) and installed the floor shift gearbox from a bluebird station wagon. Now I get 90 easy with the original J16 engine.

Soon to be done. Engine swap to Z20, gearbox swap to 5 forward Z22 and rear end from a Terrano for the disc brakes and LSD.

Eddie.
