Thanks for the compliments. As for the headlight buckets. I took a box full of parts into the local plating shop and had them re plated gold zinc. When you do this it is a flat rate of about $125 or so so make sure you have a fair amount of parts to get done to make it worth while.

I just did the parts that I had for my car. I was looking for information to contact the guy at the Datsun Loco swap meet but could never find him. In fact by the time I got there he was packing up and driving away. Alta plating here in Sacramento did mine and I was told there is a place in Stockton that is very reasonable.

This car is very nice indeed. I like the welding on the TSR components, I would not want to powder coat the trans mount if it was mine. I would clear that piece of art.

I'm Still working on it I was planning on having it done by Motoring J Style but the wheels will not be here in time. I am currently working on the ebakes and wiring harness on and off when I can get to it due to work. New bits on the car are a full race turbo manifold and JDM Grill and evo mr console and front seats. As for the TSR parts they look good in the photos but in person they are even better. Its like Christmas every time one of Mario's boxes show up on the door and its always the gift you always wanted.
