These were actually tough to get because as soon as we parked they both were swarmed.. Gorgeous recently refreshed Sports 800 though.

Back around 2021, a trucker coworker of mine was making a huge fuss about needing a kei truck to clear out some brush around a graveyard on the hill out back. I ended up letting him have this Sambar. It wasn't a 4WD anyway so I wasn't too heartbroken about letting it go lol.

I have a 1989 honda civic hatchback DX with a D15B3 motor in it, im looking to get aftermarket parts but dont know any good websites or places to start looking to buy from

Please back your comment up with a visual source, picture etc.

Inherited it from grandpa. I like cars but I know nothing about them unfortunately. Thoughts?

I'd take it out for a few decent photos, if I could get it running.

i’m just looking for some advice. I put my truck on ebay motors and I’ve had quite a bit of interest for the short time that it’s been on there. I’ve done a lot of research on this truck and I’m struggling to let it go because I can’t find another one like it or in this condition anywhere and I’ve looked nationwide. It’s a 1989 Isuzu regular cab base model short bed manual 2.6 L with no cancer to the body she does have subframe rust and she has cancer on the rear bumper, but I have the original owners manual the original set of keys, the originalspare tire and rim. yes that’s correct the original factory spare is intact and undisturbed, and although I know that certain things don’t necessarily add value, it just adds to originality. It has the original paint aside from the fact that the hood and roof had severe clearcoat peel and they are now dipped. so here’s my issue. I can’t find this truck anywhere to compare a value to it in saying that I understand this is going to be. It’s worth what someone will pay for it kind of thing but there’s gotta be some sort of value on this truck and I’m looking for somebody to tell me around what that would be not your opinion of what it should be but a rough estimate of what an enthusiastic would buy this truck for in the condition that it’s in versus if I repainted it and fixed everything which then would take away from some of the originality…. By the way it’s only had five owners and it ranks a 66 on ebay.

This is one of two quietly fading away in my neighborhood. Both just sit. This one is losing its clear coat, the other is at least under a carport. It does have about 6 inches of dust on it. I kind of want to save one, but I already have two wagons(Cressida and Lexus)

Back in the mid2000s when I had free time, I was always window shopping for cool used rides. Some far, some close. Less than 5 minutes from my place, there was this local body shop. The master craftsman who ran it had serious brand loyalty and in his case, he was clearly a hardcore Nissan fan. His cars weren't delicately stored, though. They were just lined up rough in the workshop's roofed garage.

Visiting one day, after some casual chat so I casually dropped, " 'Hey Oyaji, just wondering... is that Fairlady Z for sale?' playin' it cool." He just grinned and said, " Of course, it might be haha." While I was thinkin' to myself, 'The Z31 might be an affordable price, but the SR311 will need a serious check over...' a few years slipped by. Next thing I knew, the whole shop was gone. Damn it all.
