i actually used engine enamel this time because this color turned out to be so.
i went to pick up some white for another thing and saw this and got sooo coincidentally lucky.

You should be good,for long time with that

this will only be a year until i get an engine swap.
hoping to keep my car same color but white engine bay and a heart of gold

That will look nice and clean!

Man, don't even worry.
I'm not even doing enough.
I'll get there and when i do get my license, I'll be out there helpin ya!

If you're talkin about driving all the way to the east coast you are more than welcome. I'll get shit done eventually. Money and time never seem to be in my hands at the same time. Time to post in the FML thread for me.

I'd be so down to drive down there.
I might to see my sis and have a trip with the friends.

I'll see what happens.

If and when you do come down let me know. The LEAST we could do is meet up and bullshit. Lunch, supper, something. Even if you're just passing through to somewhere else. This goes for any of my Datsun family.

Thanks man. for reals. maybe a few cruises and what not. hha.
hey do you know anything about dual carbs?

Today i put my rims on my car on the rear and i realized that it was a little bit out of the fender although almost flush.
I'll probably need to tuck tire when I get my rear coilovers but how can i do this without camvber?
My fenders are rolled. I have +12 because I heard that's what sits well and close to flush as i did.

This is somewhat what I'm looking for.
And this is pretty close to my front ride height atm.

Well that is what I'm looking for although I have a sedan... I'll snap some pics right now.

here you guys go.
I just want to tuck but not sure how to.
Well I dont want to tuck but the coilovers are pretty low and plus, I want to make the car even height front and back and the rear well is lower so it'll take tire.



the top of page 6 shows my front ride height that i want the rear to be equivalent too.

What size tire is that? Looks a tad baloony.

Negative. Only thing I know about them at this point is I have a set of rebuilt SU's already mounted to the mani with the linkage and heatshield. Came with the car when I bought it but my car looks like a big model car. I have to put it together. I don't even know what size they are.



When it becomes time for me to do mine I might source one of these




As far as the wheels, they look pretty close to me. Yours vs. the Enkei Apache pictured above. Might look different because of the balloonish tires
