lol dems are some monster truck tires on a slammed car.

Yup.. haha They're good for Eugene roads right now, but once Zach gets his 6-spokes cleaned up and tires on them, I'll buy the crosses from him and get proper tires... Either that or throw the crosses on the 210 with the big tires and explore some forest roads. Maybe too low though. Luckily I think I found some steady work today and I'll be back to normal spending limits. Wooooo!

Looks like you found my spirit animal, and personal motto.

Building datsuns at the speed of sloth.

City came by and put a sticker on my car. Guess it looked abandoned. haha Pulled it into the driveway, wetsanded some primer away, gave it a thorough cleaning. There's a ton of good original paint under all the primer. I'll post some pics whenever I get them off the camera. Still no iron crosses........ Kinda like the idea of staying with 13's for now.

[levigideon]

Slowly turning red again. from the ass to the nose.

[DRIVEN]

I like the 13s.


pssst...your NWD sticker is backwards.

[levigideon]

I like the 13s.


pssst...your NWD sticker is backwards.

13's ftw. They just seem fitting for the l16.

Made some progress now that Zach's garage has room to work.

Started patching up the rust spots in the floor. Found a carb kit laying around so I'm freshening up gaskets and seals on the hitachi. Scrubbed some of the engine bay and started preparations for starting to daily this here in a few weeks, hopefully (yeah right).

Gotta find a pedestal and plate for an EI dizzy. I somehow lost the one I had... Anyone have anything?

[izzo]

Not i. There are two different ones iirc.

[510freak]

You have a L-16 pedestal?
It can be(see what I did there)made to work.

[levigideon]

I do not have the l16 pedestal anymore. I took it off and it disappeared into the expanse of the parts stash, never to be found again.

[510freak]

hate when that happens

[levigideon]

Well, I found a plate on a spare dizzy, but no pedestal yet. I'll look again in the daylight.

[levigideon]

Dat floorboard...



Still have some patching to do, but the big hole is fixed for now. Kinda want to get legit floors eventually though.

[izzo]

hahahaha thats cool man. I thought about putting plexi glass in my floor before. that way i can see the road. would be tits on a wheeling machine

[levigideon]

that would be tight. plexi is potentially strong enough too... now you have me thinking.

[izzo]

Right. Pre drill holes all around it, rivet it to the floor with some proper sealer.

[Skeletonbonez]

I think a round porthole style, you know, to monitor clearance

[Eagle_Adam]

what clearance......

[levigideon]

Progress!

Layed down a layer of sound deadening today. I could use it as carpet, but it's pretty rough so I'll do another layer on top with real carpet.

Damnit, pics from dropbox don't work. I'll upload them somewhere else later.
