  1. I have a question about you 510; Im interested in another one thats closer to me but it has a problem that I think you solved with yours regarding the floorboard. What did you cover on the floor boards with? And what are the benefits of it? Where can I get some and is this the first step before re-applying carpet or another layer? >grace & peace<
  2. Is that truck for sale in your album? What the story on that? Im really interested to find out more information please >grace & peace<
  3. Finally (as requested)! I was able to load some pictures up. Thank y'all so much for you help in this matter. There will be more to come shortly. This is Sir Winston Elder I'm really excited to start on this project. As you can see there are a few aesthetic issues that I with to take care of; but first thing is first. I must take care of the transmission (this was just a cheap segway into my next picture) Here is the under the hood shot. My camera started acting funny so thats why their is some distortion. I so after being remedied of my ignorance that its not a v-8 Im still curious to what it is? I am in need to replace the transmission soon. Anybody have any thoughts or advice of who I could talk to or any salvage yards in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area i could acquire one from? This last picture is one to chow where the guy rear ended me. It is by know means a hindrance to the performance of the car; but I went and got a few quotes and they averaged out to $628; That was for a new bumper and I am not expecting him to replace a new one for me. Alas I've been looking for a used chrome one (mostly on here) but to no avail. I would really like some advice in this situation as this is my first fender bender. He does not wish to get insurance involved. He offered me $200 but I think thats a little slim. But he said if insurance get involved the most they would pay is $150. I am at a standstill as to what step to take next. I am, by no means, interested in getting more than it is worth; however, I dont want to get took either. Any advise would be well appreciated >grace & peace<
  4. How do I post pics on here directly from my computer (I have a mac pro, if that helps)? I've looked around some other forums on here and all I was able to find were "how to's" about posting from an online album. Any help would be appreciated. >grace & peace<

    Sir Winston

    Salutations I am the esteemed owner of an 86 Nissan 720 by the name of Sir Winston Elder. I've had him for almost 4 years now and for only $800 he has never disappointed. I havent done much work to him (replaced exhaust, brake pads, new tires, tail lights) as I am still in college; but am graduating soon and wanted to start giving him the best I can. First and formost Im looking for a transmission. He is v8 (four on the right side and four on the left, last two behind air filter) automatic. He has about 160+,000 miles and this is the first problem I've had with it. But it is starting to get bad (slipping, and extremely hard jerks when idle or during acceleration after being stopped). I am in Texas in the DFW/Metroplex area (but go to school in Stephenville if any know of anybody, any wrecking yards, or Shops that could help I would be much obliged. Also recently I was rear ended in and the Massive trick with a grillgard put a dent above my extra light on the left side of the chrome bumper. He doesn't want to get insurance involved but is offering $200 dollars; Naturally i would use this to put towards a transmission. I went and go estimates and they averaged out to $667. Im not expecting that much as it was and older bumper and hade some scratches when I bought it. But I dont want to get taken on this it being that it was my first fender bender. I've been looking on here for the different forums to find pricing on the chrome bumpers but have had no such luck. Should I take to $200 or could I ask for more (I was thinking $300). Any advise in this matter again would be most appreciated. >grace & peace<
  6. I would love to make an offer on this truck! It has so much potential! Alas, I am in Texas God Speed on your sale though! >grace & peace<
  7. Yea, I'm in the metroplex area, but might be willing to venture out if the find proves itself worth the effort.
  8. Thank you for the heads up, good looking out.
  9. I'm interested in purchasing a 60's-70's automatic datsun truck models: 520, 521, 610, 620, 621. I currently have a 1986 Nissan/Datsun Truck. I live in Texas so I'm mainly interested in offers around there. I'm still in college, and must adhere to a budget; so, Im looking for a truck that is reasonably priced and in practical working condition. No more than $2000. Please email me at jahmicahdawes@hotmail.com with replies and pictures. >grace & peace<
