Hi all,
Got my first nissan terrano. Mainly to be used for towing a trailer and none of this mad off road stuff... although its nice to know the motor is capable of doing it!

Have a bit of experience putting engines into cars, but the size of these 4x4 is going to be a challenge. Everything is soooooo bigger!

Noticed that rust can be a problem, but good job I have a mig and a inverter welder - so just a case to jumping in with advise for my peers!!

Hiya mate welcome to the forum, there is loads info on here, you'll be able to sort most problems before they become an issue.
How about some pics of the truck

Welcome. Personally I've found it easier to work on my terrano than a std car because everything is bigger and more robust

Here you go. Nothing special, but got it for 1500, 60k on the clock but actually 106k - replacement dash, hoping its not going to be a money pit!!

Looks tidy

there's no-one who owns one of these who hasn't a list of jobs to do. The folk on here are a godsend for info and it certainly helps to keep you motivated.

Totally agree!! Blocky10 - seen the dodgy mount for the compression rods and my heart sank, but keen to do stuff on the car myself and was glad to hear people supporting me to have a go!! I've been on other forums and they are full of smart arses... everyone has to start somewhere!!

Exactly. One job at a time and you'll be fine.
