Bigman1207 243 Report post Posted January 19 Sorry no pics but just got a 1988 Nissan Prairie! Well boy got it to do up! Think we will be busy lol Oh it's complete with disable ramp! 68000 miles, starts and runs from fuel feed so maybe needs fuel pump fuel line and or filter.

Bigman1207 243 Report post Posted January 21 The plan is to keep it stock disabled access and all but to turn it into a ad hoc camper with rear awning and removable interior bed. Boy wants to do mobile photography at shows. Also and don't tell the mrs with the disabled ramp would make collection of a motor bike dead easy lol 7 Cavcraft, Cookiesouwest, stripped fred and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigman1207 243 Report post Posted January 26 Now what's the best way to dry out carpet without removing it! Maybe a tiny bit connected to jet wash but was wet before and fixed windscreen seal before jet washing. So residual damp and a few tiny new drops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigman1207 243 Report post Posted January 28 Not much work done today due to shift working however ignition barrel wired in and got some heat into cabin to get rid of a little damp due to badly fitting windscreen surround. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigman1207 243 Report post Posted February 12 Ignition re wired, petrol in, fan belt tightened, STARTS and RUNS! Fan cuts in and sits at halfway when warm. Won't settle at idle so will give it a service and carb clean also has a slight blow in exhaust. Power steering notchy have topped up fluid but little difference. Electrics all work apart from interior lights and horn . . Not checked fuse yet may just need a clean up. That's it for today lol cheers biff 10 Jim Bell, Yoss, Mrs6C and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
