Hey guys a dude from work has said hes thinking about selling his old sierra. It used to be his brother in laws but then the dude from work bought it with the intention of doing it up. And after a while it still hasnt moved from his backyard lol.

Story is apprently its got a new 1.3lt in there which has only done 100k kmsish and he has taken the timing belt out to put a new one on and never got around to finishing it. The dudes a good mate from work, so i dont think hed bullshit to me if it had snapped on him.

Its a 1985 NT SJ50, so its got the typical rust around in a few places, everything pretty basic. But for a few hundred im considering it. Even if i buy it to part out and keep a few bits for myself, or spend some time/money getting back up to scratch and making something of it? Anyway pictures are worth more than words

I don't know what your fussing about. There is nothing wrong with it as it is.

I would be pretty excited though to have a play with the 1.3. Never played with an engine before and i think itd be a good cheap toy to play with. Maybe muck around with the welder a bit and see where it gets me :lol:

Looks to be in fair condition for it's age.. I sold my 93 WT recently for $800, whole rear floor was rusted out and had rust in the chassis too...

your mates looks to be better than the one I sold.. so yeah I would buy..
