sickdatsun's 1981 Datsun 720

This is it before any major bodywork or modifications. I got a carburetor rubuild kit on Christmas, and got the engine running on the 29th. It has the Nissan Naps-Z Z22 2.2 liter 4 cylinder engine with around 100 Hp. It has a 2 barrel Hitachi carburetor, and has dual spark plugs per cylinder. Overall the engine is in pretty good shape. I'm going to get a  straight pipe from the stock manifold to a Edelbrock SDT Muffler. I also have to get new Brakes, and I am getting KYB Shocks.

I've fooled around some doing bodywork. I've sanded it some, and filled a few holes in. I'm to take the front bumper off and clean it and get the rust off. i'm getting a new grille, and new fenders. I'm going to do bodywork on the doors and the bed. i am getting a new rear bumper. I'm going to sand down the bed on inside of it, and on the outside, and the entire truck. I'm going to paint the truck silver again.

This is the bed. The peice of metal up by the cab  is screwed to the side's of the bed, so I can unscrew it and paint the back of the cab, once it's ready for paint, which won't be for a while. In the bed I'm gonna use my palmsander and a powersander to sand the rust. I'll fill any minor holes with body filler, then I'll have one final sanding before I paint in the spraypaint. After all that I'll put in spray on bedliner.

This is the interior of my truck. It's not in real good shape right now. In the driver's side there is a hole in the floor. Me and my dad plan on sawing the rusted area out and rivet in sheet metal to fix it. I'm going to keep the same seat's, but I'm going to take them out to get all the old pad's and cover's off. I'm going to get new pad's and i'm gonna get advantage 4 wetlands camo cover's. Once the floor is good i'll probably get black carpet, and some kind of floor mats. The dash has a few cracks in it so i'll be getting a new one.

This is the spedometer in my truck. It worked when my dad layed the truck up, so i'm keeping it.

These are the pedal's. I'll probably get some kind of aftermarket pedals later on.

This is the distibutor cap. It worked when the truck was layed up, but i'm just going to go ahead and get a new one anyway. I've also got to get new electrical wire's. I'll probably be getting  AcDelco Sparkplugs.
