My new toy :)

I just picked up this little gem this morning. She needs some tlc but is 100% rust free and a perfect blank canvas!

Nice! Time to change your username!

Nice - by the resonator box off the air filter, '94? Typical failing green paint, but as you say if no rust you've got a great project. Mileage?

Xterra isn't going anywhere, I might have to hyphenate and be xterra-cruiser :wings:

265K she's just broken in. My '94 had 245K and has been a weekend toy for several years now or I'd probably be pushing 300K.

Yea an 80 series at 265k = Xterra at 100k haha jk I love Nissans. Looks good.

Excellent choice sir! Crawl underneath, have a look-see, and say by by to that Xterra!

Update: this thing was not treated very well. I bypassed the leaking heater core, did a basic tuneup with belts, plugs, plug wires, rotor button distributor cap, k&n air filter, changed a couple cracked hoses. Runs and idles good but unfortunately it needs a head gasket. So I guess it's time to roll up my sleeves and dive deeper than I planned into that big *** engine bay!!

Was that one on Craigslist in Asheville for awhile?

I got mine a couple weeks ago and found both front CV boots blown, as well as all the fluids needing done, which I am working on now. Plugs are next, and I think maybe valve cover gaskets are leaking. Even with all that it still runs fine and keeps on going.

I saw that one on Craigslist too, glad to see it went to someone who will take care of it.

Yessir, it was on cl in Asheville. I talked him down a bit and got a great deal, even after the hg I'll still be in it for less than most people pay

when you said it was a smokin', deal, did you mean it was doing that after the test drive?
