    Man it would have been awesome to see that thing driving out of the weeds and maybe even doing some donuts with it🤣

      Naturally aspirated 2.3 I think. It was used in pretty much every nissan van here. Terribly slow but very reliable. Must email you pictures of 2 potential will it starts I'm looking at. Hope all is well buddy 🙂👍

    Dave I love your content but u gotta put the camera on a tri pod or hold it really still it kinda makes you dizzy and hard to watch with the camera constantly moving, also one of the most important things is good lighting so people can see what your working on,just trying to give u some tips cause I really want your channel to grow👍

    Typical old diesel Nissan Engine a stuck starter. First turn and awa8it went. I think you are right about the engine think it's a cabster I remember them being pretty reliable. Am sure if you got the brakes free it would move fix the clutch slave of course as for the bailer go for it would be interesting. 👍 Glad to hear the channel is growing

    Great stuff Dave, it would be some achievement to drive that out of the bushes. It would cost a few euro too, all the body seals would be leaking. Nice project though, can't wait to see more. Just found your channel and think it's great.

      Kevin, thanks very much! We'll certainly try. It's really not bad leakwise. The scuttle is the worst, leaving water into the cab floor. There's also a leak in the bathroom. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂👍

    Then you could use A secondary work truck for transporting the tool utility trailer around even much easier afterwards.,or locate A decent UTV vehicle for moving your trailer around with on job site with.,or when it's parked elsewhere to. For other uses like camping & hunting & 🐠 fishing to.,or off gridding any of those are good enough reasons to try to finish it up. To see if it's fully reusable & reliable once again to put back in use.

    I think you should fix up the rest of the way for sure. Especially since it started up that easy after fixing the starter ole yeah man. From me that's A definitely yes answer to that question you asked. If I think you should fixing the other problems on it to try to get it moving again. To be ready as A road mobile reliable once again. It's always good to see people saving setting vehicles that can serve A good purpose.& Get from point A to point B.& Etc. To when need be to as we'll. Like for A emergency living quarters.& Work vehicle to all one set-up. It looks it could pull A utility trailer behind it for tool's as we'll from what I saw of it myself in the video so far.
