maybe when I get around to the body. Main concern right now is brakes and engine yaknow?

Yeah I have to find my oil leaks...All like 6 of them....and then I have to work on my brakes....p.o. Snapped one of the bleed screws....

I'm gonna be pulling mine and doing a disc conversion. I could be persuaded to part with the original pieces maybe. That and you're not to horribly far away, never been to silverdale but it can't be worse than driving to yelm/lacey and back every other week on the weekends to pick up and drop off my daughter

So time for an update I guess since I've found my thread again

 

Purchased and received: rear brake disc conversion and larger master cylinder, all around weather seals for Windows and doors, tires for the wheels (not installed, May shove the fronts on just to check clearance) retroaudio radio for when I eventually get around to doing the interior

 

Purchased and have to pick up stock tach and windshield on Sunday, get to meet a ratsun member in the process.

 

Installed Weber carb but managed to botch it so new fuel pump sitting in my Dd waiting for me to get home and have time to install and see if that was the issue or not since I'm not getting gas to the carb.

 

Killed my battery a few days ago because I forgot to take the key off run when I went to bed the other night when I figured out that I wasn't getting gas to the carb. May be low on gas, May need fuel pump, May need new hoses, it'll get figured out eventually.

 

Going to try to make it to the golden gardens meet even if I don't have my Ute running in time, would be nice to meet some datsun peeps in person and put faces to the names. Only got one datsun person in my life and she's not on ratsun for various reasons.

 

Yes I'm special, I can break a vehicle when I ain't even around it, I'm also at work posting on my phone so no oics right now sorry, maybe when I get home and I'm having a smoke I'll try to snap a few

 Nice truck! I think the crab comment was about the fishermans net you have in the tub :) I like the blue wheels against the yellow, I'm doing yellow wheels on a blue truck. Can't wait to see them on and in the daylight. Good luck with the project  :thumbup:

yeah the net has been removed, I don't even know where it ended up but I'm sure it's somewhere in my garage. Gonna be rocking the yellow with the blue for awhile, don't know when or even if this little lady will ever see paint but she needs it at some point. What's gonna be good is when I put the replacement doors in, those are blue as well if I remember correctly

and then got even more bored and removed my grill

 

IMAG0224.jpg

 

and found a couple brackets i have absolutely no idea what they're supposed to be for while trying to figure out the grill (i'm a newb, i look and look before i do something so i make sure i can put it back together) if i can get some idea whatsoever as to what these are for and if i need them that would be lovely:

also, i don't have a horn, like at all. not that i can see at least. i was looking for it since the button didn't work while i had the truck running

 

oh, and i killed the battery again by leaving the key on run (i'm a dumbass who gets distracted, kill me)
