actually im going to get pics of my mustang.....it'll make the nissan look like a texas car
You never got those pics.
Anyway, did a little bit of work on the Nissan today as winter is approaching. I snapped a few random pictures and a couple rust videos while I was at it.
Rust videos:
Drivers.
Passengers.
Pictures.
Here's how the window WAS held shut. It's broken so it just slides down, my brother wedged a piece of wood into it to hold it shut.
There's some bolt holes on the door from the panel (he threw it out) so I stuck a long bolt in there and the window rests on it, it's only open maybe an inch now, which is a great improvement from three. That's just a temporary fix. I will be purchasing a new door for winter, as this one no longer shuts. I fixed that as well, I unbolted the door clasp and pounded it down into the door, now the door closes flush but still doesn't stay shut. I'll have to fix the drivers side somehow as well, does anyone know how to get a door off that's stuck
closed?
The interior could use a good vacuuming and cleaning. It has mud in it and leaves and whatnot. My brother had a different perspective about what parts of a truck should get dirty from me. I keep the Ranger SPOTLESS in the interior.
I'll admit, I helped make it messy. But only the two tail lights chilling out in the seat.
This probably helped contribute to the rust. I'll run strait pipes (from the cat) out the back AFTER I get it inspected, if I get it road worthy. Prior to that I have an old muffler I'll toss on it with some clamps.
The entire exhaust will be CLAMPED not welded. That way, when I get pulled over for a loud exhaust I can just slap the old one on and get it checked by the local station.
Jump seats FTW! My Ranger doesn't have em. Finally I can drag more than one other person with me without me being squished, to hell with them. They can deal with the tight spaces.
They need a cleaning. I have a feeling there's a hole in the bottom that causes them to be dirty as hell.
And last but not least, my inspiration for fixing it up. 72858 miles.
Even if the truck doesn't end up being road worthy, I'll buy another one in PA or something and swap engines. PA = No salt IIRC.
So far, the list is as follows for what the truck needs.
Oil Change.It's jet black. Ew.
Air Filter.Mice got into the intake and chewed it up.
Tires.Ones missing and the rest are bald.
Brakes.Maybe.
Alternator.I still need to get that checked, it could have other problems.
Hood pins.It latches, but doesn't stay down. How much do those cost?
Battery.I have a few old ones laying around. I'll see if they'll hold a charge.
Doors.Duh.
