i dont know where to start. when i bought this truck it didnt have a tranny in it and it was sittin stock height with all sorts of problems. it had holes in the body from where someone tried to shave the mirrors but didnt give the bondo a backing. the tires on the stock wheels all had broken belts. the shocks were all blown even the bushings had fallen out. the exhuast was smashed flat and had a wire hanged holding it up.it was tinted but the tint was old and was so messed up that you couldnt see out of the windows. the seats were orginial and the driver side was missing half the cushion.all the panels were nasty and torn up. basicly when i got the truck it was just a nice dashboard haha. but its come a long way now with even farther to go. first thing was first, it had to be lowered so i put a static drop on it. then the wheels had to go so i put my old 15s on it. the stock seats came out and were swapped with 280z seats wich are also coming back out soon for a tweed bench seat. the blower box had to be reinstalled from where it was falling off the truck.the dash came out and was fiberglassed but still isnt done to this day. replaced the carpet, mounted the cd player in the console. took the handles off couse the guy that had it before me had shaved the door locks but not the handles.....ass backwards if you ask me. put a system in the truck wich ended up getting stolen. (3 mtx thunder 6000 10's and a 1200w power acoustic amp) after that i had to replace the driverside window wich lead to the windows bein tinted....ugh..new shocks..new exaust ( straight pipe with a glasspack) replaced the plugs and wires rotor button distributor altenator and starter. then the handles finaly got plated and shaved, redid the mirrors and installed the harley mirror on the driverside. but heres some pics for you to check out untill i get some new ones later today...

MeNiPuP's 1984 Datsun 720 got started on the one peice dash. was going to bondo it up and smooth it out but i think im just going to tweed it instead. dont want to spend too much time on something thats coming back out.

a couple pics of the back of the truck. no tailgate and not much of a bed floor. im looking for a donor bed so i can do a raised bed floor over whats going to be left of the stock floor...or maybe a wood bed floor - raised - with no holes for the wheels since im going with smoothie 16's. but for now its the least of my worries. ive got bags and a boody drop to save for.

couple pics since i raised the 2 tone to the bottom of the windows. had to hide the bodywork on the mirrors buti think its straighter then it was. i wish i didnt have that HUGE strip across the hood where i had to fix some shit.

the MSD 6AL should be pretty easy to hook up. I was overseas and i had a shop hook it up with all the other things under the hood so when i got home it was ready to be abused. go to MSD for the instalation pdf.. anything else let me know.
