Glad to help. Also curious to see how she runs. Time is coming closer as the weekend provides more building progress!

Iceman, I am using the L-18 crank. The 200sx pistons have a higher rist pin location with a lower deck height, therefor cancelling the increased height difference. The block was over bored because the cylinder measurements were off. I wanted a fresh, squared engine to start with. A previous picture will show the piston and rod difference.

Those are some good looking parts! Might have to hit you up in the future.

I too am in the same boat looking for wagon replacement seats. Debating on new or junkyard seats.

Had a hiatus for a bit, but back in it again and always drop by to see your beauty. Gives me motivation to jump back in and get moving. Thanks for that!

Haven't forgot the Dime, just running into life that places speed bumps in my way. Working the Goon first as it is way closer to running down the road. Will get back to this gal once the other is running.

Here's the heart!

Wow, just looked at how long it's been since I posted. The days move swiftly through time and the build continues. Quick update, the long rod L18 is complete with ARP connecting rod bolts, ARP head bolts, A87 peanut head, and 200 SX pistons. Ordered all the goods to change transmission seals, new clutch, and complete exhaust pipe setup. Will need to route and cut to fit. Should go pretty quick once the weather turns warmer here soon. Lastly debating on redoing the electrical because those wires are old! Will get pictures up as things come together.

Nice to see her out and about!

Yep, clean it up, cut and weld new metal. Lather with copious amounts of rust converter, prime and paint it with the same patina looking color. You'll be right as rain!

Awesome, thank you for the review. Quiet? Nah, that's part of the beauty, right!

Man, she is coming along beautifully! Nice work on the paint for sure. Have you used the Kilmate before? Wondering how well it works?

True. Don't get me wrong, everybody has their own decision to make....as of now. My fear is when they make this whole thing mando. That's when I will have an issue. I received a flu shot (mando for my job at the time) which always made me sick for two weeks and would then get sick again about three months later. I left that job and have not received a flu shot since. guess what, haven't been sick for six years now. Not even a twitch of anything. I eat dirt and lick door knobs as often as possible. I'm with George Carlin; take all that stuff in, every change you get. This makes your immune system work and not sit on their a$$es. Once they attack the preparators, they deposit them straight in my colon and out to sea! Has worded so far. Obviously, just 2 cents here.

Yet another person dies from the vaccine, only know bout it due to him being a public figure. How many others are counted but not publicized? Tragic. Should never be forced on anybody as an adult, because we are still free, right? Maybe not. From Covid-101.org - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires vaccination providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). When these reports are received, doctors from CDC and the FDA review death certificates, autopsies, and medical records to understand what happened with each person. Between December 2020 and April 5th, 2021, VAERS received 2,794 reports of death (0.00167%) among people who got a vaccine. After careful review, doctors have decided that there is no evidence at all that these vaccines contributed to the patient deaths. Nonetheless, the CDC and FDA will continue to investigate every single report of death (and other adverse events) reported to VAERS. Last update: April 8, 2021, 8:22 pm These are the same guys who, again, can't tell us where our tax dollars go? The graph below is interesting as well. It won't fit on here, but take a look at it cause it's interesting. From: https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/dashboard/kff-covid-19-vaccine-monitor-dashboard/

One could always buy a retired ferry or small cargo ship and live out in international waters. This way you'd be free and could wrench on Datsuns all day. Grinding noise would never be an issue because the sea life wouldn't be Karen' it up. Pull into port for supplies every now and then. Living large as an old Sailor!! Rum, wrenches and sea hags!
