Project Rust Bucket --> Winter Beater

Just bought this off Dc2nick the other day kinda cheap.

More knowledge to fill your brain:

1995 Nissan Hardbody XE (base, but with options).
(Old Omni Computers company truck from 97-05 :lol)
Chassis Code: D21
128k i think
Regular (Standard) Cab
6ft (Standard) bed
Truck Version Ka24E. 134hp of fury! Single Slammer!
5spd.

Factory Options:
-4x4
-SE model Alloy Rims
-(Upon further inspecting and taking stuff apart) SE Limited slip diff
-Chrome bumper and grill (Offered on the SE)
-A/C
-Sweet factory sticker that adds ~102 Tq not hp!

Current issues:
-New clutch (slipping like a MOFO!.. probably 10% left)
-Battery tiedown (note that a bungee is in place)
-Suspension. Replacing with KYB GR2’s for now.

Fixed:
-vaccum leak
-Got a free box, need a tailgate now (rot on the bottom :frowning:

I will add pics as to why i call it rust bucket. Shit, the bed is rotted out in the one corner :rofl

Now since the Box i got is red. and theres some rust i wanna take car of on the body. What color should i do?
I was thinking a Army green/satin green. paint the bumpers/grill black etc.

More pics to come, but heres the day i bought it:


Crappy cell pics…boooo


Note the bungee cord battery tie down here ^ SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!

Engine bay was a mess. cleaning it up. im VERY OCD about a clean engine bay,if its a shitty car or not. Carbon canaster had been mesed with at one point. gone now. updates when i feel like it :slight_smile:

*Also, there is NO way in hell im turning it into a gay lowered mini truck. Bitch is getting lifted if anything.

woo hoo

slowest vehicle i’d ever owned.

flat black!!!

+345345456478589

its cooler than your 240.

flat black, chopped, sectioned, notch frame, bags, drag frame, blackout tint, HID’s, proper AME wheels of the 20" variety

lift it 4ft /thread

Want a ka24de for it? Got one I wanna get rid of.

VQ37HR swap nao

that will be mine next summer besides the wheels

Psh, go big. VK56 swap. A Titan motor in that thing would be nuts-o.

Thursday 9/3/09
Well after a call to my friend. i now have a sawzall for a little while.
lets just say, i didnt give two poopies about the rotted/rusty/nasty/ bed
On the truck still:



And these are just cell phone pics. now imagine it in real life :eek
Off with thy head! (NOTE: the two giant squares made by mr sawzall :uhhuh )

For anyof you who have taken off a hardbody bed you have the 4 bolts, two on each side of the tire and 2 in the rear. i simply (ya ok…) cut around the rear ones, took the bed off. then took the sawzall sideways to cut the bolt off. and knocked it threw the whole with a screwdriver. :slight_smile:
End of the night:
Frame pics.
I started to grind away with a wire wheel to the driver side. got tired and called it quits… until tommorow muhhahahahah…




OMFG :rotflmao look at those shocks. the outer part rotted right off.

Good thing i got 4 brand new ones for 20 used (400 miles and the motor blew he said… so there just about brand new :bigthumb )
Thats it for tonight! :rice
