Post pictures here.

Can you elaborate on these projects? If you're not into typing much, around here a picture is worth 1607 words last time I checked the exchange rate.

Hello there, and welcome. We'd like you to be more active here to.

Another reality of getting old.

Just checked the mailbox and the bushings are here. I've run out of excuses.

Not yet Jeff, it's all still sitting in a box on my work bench. Just waiting on the bushings. Literally haven't made it out to the mail box to see if they're here. Been one hell of a week with no end in sight. It's likely Troy will do most of it as my confidence with the wrenches is waining. I want ...

Welcome to the Realm Steven. Plenty of old Datsun guys here with far more interest in information content than drama BS. Thanks for all your effort putting Candy together, I hope it lasts another ten years.

Welcome DatsunDoc That's a beautiful 4 four you got there. You are right a dash pad in "good condition" is a rear find. They do make a nice replacement skin to recover the old one. It is thicker than the original material, and done right it looks every sharp. If anything it would be a good...

Ron, you planning on doing the Manteca show and swap meet this year? You can always caravan with Dean Sherman and myself! Are you talking about the one in March? Rolling up together would be a blast. I'm converting my 510 to rack & pinion in a few days, so that might be cutting it a bit close. ...

And yes, it's either a humid, or cold ass pit. Northampton is sort of cool in a quaint New England kind of way. I'm sure if you had...

Took a while, but I got all the bits and pieces for the steering conversion. Just waiting for some bushings to come in. Turns out a manual 1985 MR2 rack is hard to source. There are a bunch of MR2 folks converting from power assist to manual for better direct feedback. Those damn Toyota guys need to...

If there were anything I would add to this it is determination. It's a huge factor in success. The first thing is give yourself permission to make mistakes. If you expect nothing but perfection you're setting yourself up for failure. Often when a build hits it's first serious bump, I've seen even th...

Hey Tony, Welcome tot he Realm. Post up some picts of your car man.

Hey Solo, I'm in San Leandro near Bart. I hear what you're saying about moving a build along with kids. I did the same with two kids, but while getting my graduate degree. I tell you though, that build was what kelt me sane through all that. I'll PM you with my info and maybe we can sink up so you c...
