    Whats up!

    Ive been into the automotive culture for a while now, and Ive owned a little bit of everything but this is my first truck. The original owner of the truck beat the piss out of the poor thing, wanted to do a drift truck with it. Then my buddy Derrick picked it up on a trade for an AE86, THEN through a series of complex trades I now own the truck.

    Its missing a few bits here and there and needs some new bits but all in al it looks great, very little rust or damage.

    Got it with some ugly mismatched wheels on it so I i refitted it with a set of staggered 17" D2 Starforms. The retarded racing seat is coming out along with the lame flat-bottom, NOS button wheel and be replaced with something more fitting, im thinking wood grain.

    Ill be making a more in depth build thread in the future but for now lets see it!

    Welcome to TM! I'm digging on your choice of wheels :waytogo: It definitely looks like you were able to find a good foundation to your next project. Have any concrete plans on what you want to do in the way of modifications?

    Well in terms of modifications I want to lower the back end some more and tuck the wheels, just a tad to level it out. Im going to reinsulate the cab so it no longer has an echo, seeing as its almost totaly hollowed out right now. Wood grain steering wheel, or perhaps a Nardi. Some JDM style fender mirrors and then homefully some side draft carbs.

    For the life of me I can't remember the fronts as I've had them since I got the GTR. The rears are 17x8 with a +36 I think. If I remember the fronts ill let ya know!
