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 ☹ 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: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/Ghost112/0827091851.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/Ghost112/0827091851.jpg) Crappy cell pics…boooo ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/Ghost112/0827092045.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/Ghost112/0827092045.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/Ghost112/0827092046a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/Ghost112/0827092046a.jpg) 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 🙂 \*Also, there is NO way in hell im turning it into a gay lowered mini truck. Bitch is getting lifted if anything. ---
