I picked up a diesel Datsun Maxima station wagon about 3-4 months ago... It has an SVO conversion on it so it runs on veggie oil, only need diesel to start and stop the engine on. Getting the oil for free from a local small restaurant, only have to buy diesel about once every 5-6 weeks... It's ugly, but it's paid for, and it's almost like driving around for free. I can put a crap load of boxes in it too lol... It's so stupid that it's fun to drive.

Ok so what do u guy think??? Should I leave it as if or sand it and buff and polish?


And the rest of my mods. Door panels are broke but I don't mind cuz u can't even see it. Plus its a perfect cut. Was thinking of super gluing them.. But with the double sided tape I can get them to be close where u can't even see the crack unless u know..

And pedals... Ohh finally I score this.

Ok since none of you all replied back, I decided to wet sand the clear with 600,1000 and 1500. Then use M105 and M205 and elbow grease to make it shinny.. Here the result.

Thanks Sarah.. I don't know about the fuse block that I have there. I like it cuz I has the voltage but I am not digging the cable showing thou.. I guess if I paint it white it might be better or use white wire loom

Can you drill a small hole and feed the cable through the back?

Actually I can but the fuse is going to be tilted but thats OK. This wk I'll buy more power cable and run it again. I think I need like less than 2 feet and I'll carefully make a hole to feed it thru
