Just got a dakota sport... got tired of speedbumps with my showcar...
 

Me: im 20, work as a Lumber Sales Associate for Lowes. I was the guy in that little import that suprised everyone, until i sold it and bought this truck. Im attending a school called Penntech in williamsport for autobody.

My truck is a 97 Dakota Sport, red, 5spd.
In excelent condition & only 1 other owner. Dont know the mileage due to the digital odometer readout not working. But the guys said the last time he knew it only had. 75,***mi.

My plans...

EXTERIOR: While at school this truck will be my project car...and will be getting either the Cervinis or the Xenon Full body kit, and it will be resprayed either emerald green w/ flake...or an electric blue with flake.

ENGINE: 1 or 2 things...depending on how much money i have at the time... either just a 5.9swap or a 5.9 motor with a S/C. Then a custom dual side exit exhaust with no cats or resonators.... I'm moving to an area with no emissions testing needed.

INTERIOR: may take out the bench style seats and install my 2 racing seats ive had for a few years.

SUSPENSION: Belt tech suspension.. 2" & 4" drop.


See you guys around.... Oh and i'll post pictures of my truck and my old car, as soon as i find them.


later.
