re fit is gonna take a bit longer then i thought... there's a fair bit of purple and black overspray on a lot of the trim bit's i've removed, obviously i wanna get all that off before i put the bits back on. plus i just wanna clean up and only puts bits on that are nice and clean. also i wanna change the door glass seal/rubbers. the standard ones just dump any water straight back into the doors, not much use. i normally just have to add a little bit of sealer (like tiger seal) to the ends of datsun door glass seals, as they don't fit that well. but on these seals (also same on 240k skylines) the only way to make them work effectivly is to replace them with a better design. i've already modified the heater box to stop water getting in as that was just a big water trap on these and was dumping water straight into the sills. i'm also sealing up around the front and rear screen chromes as there is a a water trap all around them that i don't like. all the datsuns i've seen with bonded in glass have it. i fixed the same thing in both my laurel and my old bluebird. anyways. who wants pics? i only had my rubbish phone camara. sorry.    already dusty. i'll leave it a few days before flatting and moping. really i shouldn't be refitting it till after it's mop'd but it taking up space in my works workshop.... |

second show and i still haven't polished it    been racking up the miles in it, not sure just how many i've put on it, maybe 2000mile  drives real nice, still needs a much higher final drive but other then that it's good. MPG is around 35, think that'd be much better once the gearings sorted out thou. and i really need stiffer front springs, or at least stiff gas dampers front and rear. |

got my next engine for this now. i've managed to get hold of a petrol 2.8 carbed engine so i'll be converting this back to original petrol power. the petrol engine swap will be fairly straightforward, just need to re fit an electric fuel pump and a small bit of rewiring to engine electrics. looking forward to driving it with a 2.8 petrol and manual 5 speed ;D |

not that quick, i've done nothing all week due to the car being outside and me finding better things to do ;D
i have brought some gold spray paint, as i'm going to try out painting the centers of my wheels gold.
i've also gotta buy some rear tyres as the ones that were on these wheels have worn out sidewalls from running the car so low.
